Switch Won't Learn MAC Addresses

Hello

I have a problem, which I believe, is a configuration problem between an existing datacenter to a QFX acts as a vlan gateway

Here is the topology. followed by the problem I have

Two sites, on each site there's a Leaf-Spine datacenter topology, both have an edge-leaf which provides connectvity to the mpls cloud. 

If Host-A will travel accross the Leaf-Spine Datacenter East-West via VXLAN, and the default gateway resides on the QFX, so in theory, once its vxlan decapsulated at the QFX, it should enter the vrf Domain in regular l3vpn routing to the opposite site.

in Practice, the QFX doesn't learn MAC addresses on it's ports facing the datacenter, it just learn MAC on this vlan for vrrp across the trunk between the two QFXes.

Each QFX has mlag/vpc connectivity to both of the edge-leaf switches, configured as trunk with only one vlan allowed on it.

Does anyone have an idea why are those ports won't learn MACs on those ports? the edge-leaf learns all of the MACs in the vlan across the datacenter.

on the opposite site, when there's a Nexus acting as a gateway, all works fine.
