Eigrp metric sets to infinity due to routes preferred via BGP via MPLS from other sites.

I have Infoblox at site A which is advertising anycast routes via OSPF. The OSPF routes redistributed into EIGRP. The router is supposed to advertise these EIGRP learned routes to MPLS via BGP. But couple other sites are advertising those anycast routes via MPLS and routes are preferred via MPLS and not self originated routes. That's why EIGRP is setting it to infinity due to RIB failure. Now the task is to advertise the routes originated from this site without denying the routes learned via MPLS for failover scenarios. I know most of them have had some kind of work around to fix this issue may using EEM script or some other technique.  The reason I am telling is even if we deny BGP learned anycast routes via MPLS, then it will prefer EIGRP local routes and BGP will self originate those routes and we allow those anycast via MPLS so what happens when EIGRP flaps again the metric goes to infinity.
