I believe this is fixed in Calico 3.16, see https://docs.projectcalico.org/archive/v3.16/release-notes/
“Connections to services without endpoints are now properly rejected in iptables dataplane mode. The fix required moving the iptables ACCEPT rule to the end of the filter FORWARD chain; if you have your own rules in that chain then please check that they do not drop or reject pod traffic before it reaches the ACCEPT rule https://github.com/projectcalico/felix/pull/2424 (@caseydavenport)”
