There's no concept of *destination* in NDN. Interest can retrieve any Data
that satisfies it.
The semantics of a reachability test in NDN is to determine whether the
client can reach a certain *content*.

Either a producer or a cache can fulfill the request for content.
Therefore, it's perfectly fine for the ping Data packets to be cached.

Yours, Junxiao
