Is it perhaps relevant that /usr/bin/man used to be a symlink to /usr/lib/man-db/man for historical reasons, but since man-db 2.5.6-1 the symlink has been the other way round?

man does not currently need to connect to the Internet for anything, although there is an outstanding feature request (bug 270984) which would involve it doing so.
