Known Limit
After review by the development team, it has been determined that this issue is related to a known limitation with the software that lies outside of Esri's control. The issue's Additional Information section may contain further explanation.
Additional Information
This is expected behavior. When federating, existing ArcGIS for Server services are automatically shared as portal items. The items are owned by the administrator who performs the federation. After the federation, the ownership can be reassigned to existing portal members as desired. Any subsequent items published to the server are automatically shared on the portal.
