Ah-ha! With htop I see 4 separate jackd processes shown with different 
priorties. One of them with "-41" as priority.

I was using either 

ps -elH | grep jackd

or

chrt -p `pidof jackd`

to see what how the scheduling was set up. Apparently there are sub-processes 
or something of that nature that isn't listed with the first command? 
And "pidof jackd" obviously returns the pid of the first process it finds.

I guess I just wasn't aware that there are 4 separate jackd processes that 
run. That makes a lot more sense now.

Thanks for the tip!
