IIRC Octavia is not using Neutron’ Floating IP but it creates additional port with fixed IP address and uses this IP to move it between keepalived instances.
If You want to do that, please remember to add this additional IP address to allowed address pair in ports connected to Your VMs. Please also be aware of bug [1] which causes some problems with such setup when DVR is used.
