I confirm it with

Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 01837a85004a6f891a09c0a63ed7eff75d634827

Also in

Version: 5.4.7.2 (x64)

Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: group

Further observation: Font size can be changed, so I would expect that font cna also be changed, because normally font of list number should be in line with font of the list.

In order for this to do what you want, you would have to stop using a character style (which specifies a font) on the numbering.  (Format - Bullets and Numbering - Customize - Character Style = None) or (Character Styles - "Numbering Symbols" Reset to Parent)

When numbering is no longer based on a style (or the style doesn't specify that trait), it takes its formatting from the contents of the list (applied to the whole paragraph. See bug 131785.
