AD comes into play when a route is known via multiple sources. In your
case, BGP will prefer the redistributed static route due to its higher
weight over the vpnv4 route you receive via iBGP (weight wins over
localpref). To solve this (somewhat classical) problem, make sure you
set the weight to zero (using a route-map) when redistributing the
floating static into BGP (or set the weight of the ibgp vpnv4 prefixes
to 32768). This way, BGP will prefer the iBGP path, installs it in the
RIB, and this one wins over the floating static.
