Actually, an update : 

After using the workaround from this issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1271289#c9

We've manage to get HA on Bare-Metal (*using the latest rdo-release-liberty.rpm) 

That was the deployment command : 

openstack overcloud deploy --templates --control-scale 3 --compute-scale 1 --ceph-storage-scale 1 -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/storage-environment.yaml -e /home/stack/network-environment.yaml -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/puppet-pacemaker.yaml --ntp-server 10.5.26.10 --neutron-network-type vxlan --neutron-tunnel-types vxlan --timeout 90
