To rehash what Oliver said, you and the router ignore the 
(received-only) routes when choosing a best path.  The (received-only) 
shows you the routes received from (soft-reconfig-enabled) neighbors in 
the exact form received, in other words before your inbound route-map is 
applied to those routes.
