It looks to have only affected the CCR line and only those running the NTP and not the SNTP package.

I had problems with Leap Second with mikrotik in versions 6.29.1, 6.28, 6.5 and other versions. 

Configured NTP Client in all of them. 

Anyone else had this problem?

Bad idea. 

When restarting ntpd your clocks will likely be off by a second, which 
will cause a backward step, which will force the problem you claim to be 
avoiding. 


If you are afraid that your routers will crash due to the leapsecond, then 
it would help to disable the thing that you think will crash them. Even if 
the router crashes when you enable it later on. Because then you can have 
one router crash at a time and have it happen in a service window where you 
are ready for it. Instead of having all routers in your whole network crash 
at exactly the same time.
