Interesting scenario.

Since you don't post your configs (why not?), we have to guess at what
exactly you are doing. Let me guess that you are redistributing
62.9.1.0/24 into OSPF on R6 and also injecting 62.9.1.0/24 into BGP with
the network command, which is what I did when I attempted to recreate
your scenario:

I used the same areas and created a virtual link to area 2, as you
described. However, initially I did not redistribute anything except
redistributing a loopback on R6, with the address 62.9.1.6/24, into
OSPF.

Here's my network:

R6-e0--192.68.56.0--e0-R5-e1--192.168.1.0--e0-R13

Initially the 62.9.1.0/24 route appeared in BGP tables on all three
routers as follows:

r6_tsrv#b
BGP table version is 2, local router ID is 129.6.6.6
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i -
internal
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

   Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
*> 62.9.1.0/24 0.0.0.0 0 32768 i
r6_tsrv#
==========r5#b
BGP table version is 2, local router ID is 129.5.5.5
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i -
internal
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

   Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
*> 62.9.1.0/24 192.168.56.6 0 0 10 i
==========
r13#b
BGP table version is 1, local router ID is 129.13.13.13
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i -
internal
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

   Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
* i62.9.1.0/24 192.168.56.6 0 100 0 10 i
==========
Since it's not a best route, it won't go into the routing table on r13.
As you point out, that's because BGP says the route orginates from R5
and OSPF says it originates from R6.

BGP - from 192.168.1.5 (129.5.5.5)
RT - from 129.6.6.6

Here is the detailed output of what I had:

13#b 62.9.1.0
BGP routing table entry for 62.9.1.0/24, version 0
Paths: (1 available, no best path)
  Not advertised to any peer
  10
    192.168.56.6 (metric 20) from 192.168.1.5 (129.5.5.5)
      Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, internal, not
synchronized
r13#i 62.9.1.0
Routing entry for 62.9.1.0/24
  Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 20, type extern 2, forward
metric 20
  Last update from 192.168.1.5 on Ethernet0, 01:19:32 ago
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
  * 192.168.1.5, from 129.6.6.6, 01:19:32 ago, via Ethernet0
      Route metric is 20, traffic share count is 1

If you do what Bill suggested and redistribute the BGP route 62.9.1.0/24
into OSPF on r5, then OSPF on r13 will now say that the route originates
from R5 and will put it into the routing table.

R5:
router ospf 1
 redistribute bgp 20 metric 20 subnets

r13#b 62.9.1.0
BGP routing table entry for 62.9.1.0/24, version 2

      Origin IGP, metric 0, localpref 100, valid, internal,
synchronized, best
r13#i 62.9.1.0

------------
In summary:

before redistribution on r13:
BGP - from 192.168.1.5 (129.5.5.5)
RT - from 129.6.6.6

after redistribution on r13:
BGP - from 192.168.1.5 (129.5.5.5)
RT - from 129.5.5.5 <==

HTH,

Jonathan

But that route is directly connected to r6. I can
only redistributing it from r6.
