If You are trying to ping Floating IP directly from the host where devstack is 
installed (Virtualbox VM in Your case IIUC) then You should first have those 
floating IP addresses somehow reachable on the host, otherwise traffic is 
probably going through default gateway so is going outside the VM.
If You are using ML2/OVN (default in Devstack) or ML2/OVS You probably have in 
the openvswitch bridge called br-ex which is used to send external network 
traffic from the OpenStack networks in Devstack. In such case You can e.g. add 
some IP address from the public network's subnet on the br-ex interface, like 
192.168.233.254/24 - that will tell Your OS to reach that subnet through br-
ex, so traffic will be able to go "into" the OVS managed by Neutron.
