I think your clock actually receives WWVB (WWV Binary) which outputs the time in Binary Coded Decimal (BCD). Also, it synchronizes only once per day, if that much. The format of the WWVB signal makes syncing every 5 minutes impractical.
Even on commercial equipment where I set the time sync via NTP, we only sync once per day or so.
