Jorge, it is not correct.
If you have routes in the BGP table under RIB-failure, those router are
ADVERTISED to is peer routers via bgp.

In my example router 2 and router 5 are peering via bgp.
Router 2 has the "RIB-FAILURE" for the prefix 7.7.7.0/24 because the same
prefix via learned via ospf.

r2#show ip bgp
BGP table version is 1309, local router ID is 172.16.102.1
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i -
internal,
              r RIB-failure, S Stale
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

   Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
*> 0.0.0.0 172.16.10.4 0 100 0 (65000) 700 i
r> 7.7.7.0/24 172.16.10.4 0 100 0 (65000) 700 i
r2#show ip route ospf
O E2 7.7.7.0 [110/1] via 172.16.10.4, 03:54:12, Serial0/0/0

Now you form an EBGP-PEERING between router and and router 5 and check the
bgp table of router 5 to see if it is learning via bgp the prefix 7.7.7.0.

r5#show ip bgp
BGP table version is 3, local router ID is 172.16.105.1
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i -
internal,
              r RIB-failure, S Stale
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

   Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
*> 7.7.7.0/24 172.16.25.2 0 100 700 i

The prefix is present.
