Having non-zero velocity value reported for a joint is expected. You should see this on the real robot as well. If a joint is fighting gravity to support the weight of the robot above it, it's not really "static". That joint motor is moving slightly.
For your application, of course, you can decide that a velocity below some threshold value is "zero velocity".
