BGP w/ no synchronization

Okay folks, starting off some late nite studying and just noticed something
weird. Got a Confederation setup like:

150.150.150.0/24---RTA ---RTB ---RTD---RTF
                           | |
                          RTC RTE

RTA, B, C, D, & E are in a Confederation called AS 1, in which:-

RTA is sub-AS 65530
RTB & RTC are both in sub-AS 65531
RTD & RTE are both in sub-AS 65532

RTF is in AS 2

RTB, C, D & E are running OSPF as IGP. And OSPF is being redistributed into
BGP at RTB.

The network 150.150.150.0/24 is being advertised into BGP by BGP "network"
command on RTA.

Ok, here is the thing. The 150.150.150.0/24 network is being seen by RTA, RTB,
RTD, & RTF. I could ping 150.150.150.1 from these four routers. However, it
can't be seen by RTC & RTE (shown as follows). But when I put "no
synchronization" on the middle four routers (RTB, RTC, RTD, & RTE), then
everything becomes fine again... I thought since I used IGP (OSPF), and if
the router can see the EBGP Next-Hop (193.16.0.2) in their routing table, then
the synch. rule shouldn't apply anymore.

Am I missing something here?

RouterC#sh ip bgp

Thanks all!
