Hejsan.

If you change a distance for one routing protocol to a value higher than
another one has, running on the same router, routes with lower distance
will be placed in RIB. Routes with higher distance will still be in OSPF
database (as per your example). If router for some reason stops getting
updates via another (preferable) routing protocol, it will pick OSPF
routes. The router will still be participating in OSPF social life. :-)
