That means there never been religious leadership based on caste in sikhis like Muslims and Hindus? I find this interesting because otherwise Sikh people seems to give more importance to zaat biradri than religion.

Brahmins were priests but in many parts of India (not North), they were not considered as religious leaders per se. The closest is the Shankaracharyas of the mutts but nobody takes them seriously if they spew orthodox backwards stuff. Every caste has a religious leader so Brahmins do not dictate the religion of the entire community. Not the same way a imam does.
