Content Caching is totally unreliable!! I have found the following:
1. Sometimes caches Mac app downloads but won't serve them
from cache to other Macs.
2. Sometimes when Mac App Store downloads are done on a Mac,
the caching server doesn't even recognize the that a request was
made for an app.
3. Sometimes serve content to a particular Mac and other times won't.
Which Mac is "blessed" to receive cached content is totally random.
4. On very rare occasion, actually does what it is supposed to. But almost
never on the very large downloads where one would really want it to work!
Bottom line, Content Caching is useless as far as Mac App Store downloads
are concerned. BTW, all the Macs involved are all using the same AppleID
and logged into iCloud with the same AppleID and are all registered with
Apple with the same AppleID!
One good thing, perhaps, if you have a bunch of iDevices, it does seem to
work for them.

Similar Problem here. Starting from 10.13 the caching server is no longer providing OS X Updates to clients. Safari and some other Apps seem to load from the caching server but only randomly.
FWIW, I have been fighting this for a while and have simply given up.
It seems that Content Caching either works or it doesn't and when it
doesn't, no one has a clue as to why!
Also, when it was part of the Server app in the 4.x versions it had worked
flawlessly. Somewhere in the 5.0 to 5.3 upgrade chain it broke and moving
it from Server app to High Sierra did not do anything to fix it!
