Thanks for the detailed info. But my setup is different. ISC dhcpd is set up as per https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/6/html/installation_guide/s1-netboot-pxe-config-efi, and grub.

next-server points to to the tftp server but seems to be ignored. When the client boots, tcpdump reports

09:02:02.911381 IP client.cisco-ipsla > dhcp-server.tftp:  56 RRQ "linux-install/bootx64.efi" octet tsize 0 blksize 32768
09:02:02.911403 IP dhcp-server > client: ICMP dhcp-server udp port tftp unreachable, length 92

on the dhcp server and nothing on the tftp server. The dhcp server also logs that a DHCPOFFER is made and accepted by the client.

This poster had the same problem and it was not resolved.
