My, very conservative, reading of CC-BY 4.0 would indicate that it has
additional issues over just the attribution problem for databases.

CC-BY 4.0 contains the following (4.b):

"if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in
a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the
database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its
individual contents) is Adapted Material; and"

"Adapted Material" is essentially a derivative Work, or using ODbL terms
a derivative database. The CC-BY terms would however seem to make it
impossible to create an ODbL collective database from an OSM dataset
including CC-BY material.
