Why did the docs name bring back the portal's page?

$ curl http://docs.lab.test/
portal: company news
$ getent hosts docs.lab.test
127.0.0.1       docs.lab.test

The docs files were deleted from disk.
curl sent the request without the site name.
The name docs.lab.test leads to the wrong machine.
nginx found no block with server_name docs.lab.test and handed the request to the default server.
