This situation is relevant if bind is acting as recursive DNS server and
upstream record has very short TTL. In that case the record is not kept
cached for longer than 5 seconds and it might be not optimal if this
record is looked up frequently. Some recursive servers have an option to
set minimum TTL and thus overwrite upstream TTL for such records with
some minimal value (like 90s for example).

It has nothing to do with the authoritative mode when yo set up TTL for
zones locally hosted.
