The property in question is a special case (with the probabilities of all the $k$ outcomes equal to one another) of the known $NA$ (negative association) property of the multinomial distribution; see e.g. this sentence in the bottom paragraph on page 5:

$NA$ property of multinomial distributions can be seen from Condition $N$, since it is the conditional distribution of independent Poisson random variables given their sum.
