cron.daily is configured by /etc/anacrontab:
[root@f5-1:Active:In Sync] config cat /etc/anacrontab
/etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron
See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details.
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
the maximal random delay added to the base delay of the jobs
RANDOM_DELAY=45
the jobs will be started during the following hours only
START_HOURS_RANGE=3-22
period in days delay in minutes job-identifier command
1 5 cron.daily nice run-parts /etc/cron.daily
7 25 cron.weekly nice run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
@monthly 45 cron.monthly nice run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
There are interesting options like "START_HOURS_RANGE" or "RANDOM_DELAY". But my cron is not customized, so I suppose, that this is general behavior. Maybe someone else have noticed same behavior.

Output in my previous post is from 12.0.0 HF1.
But you are right, on the other box: 11.6.0 HF5, is no /etc/anacron file.
