 So I don't know what the topology is that you are using but
 if it looks like this

  BGP Spoke BGP Spoke
       \ /
        \ /
         \ /
          \ /
           \ /
            \ /
               BGP HUB

 The recommend way is to do "no sync" with Route Reflectors.
The issue is that the next HOP address for OSPF and BGP will be
different from each of the BGP Spokes.

 So looking from BGP spoke on the top right. The BGP routes coming
from left BGP spoke will have a next-hop address of itself not the
BGP HUB. The OSPF route for these routes will have a next hop of
BGP HUB.

 Hence no sync between BGP and OSPF.
