Younger dogs out of subservience may groom or lick higher-ranked dogs, so it's probably nothing more than a sign of deference to the older dog. However, if the licking is obsessive, or regular, or if the younger dog shows other odd behaviors like obsessive behaviors, insecurity, etc., then you might have some version of an eating disorder called pica or something along those lines--talk to your vet about it.
