First of all, I would not touch dhcpcd.conf for a while.
Is it assumed that ovs-system should get its IP address from DHCP?
If I understand it correctly, systemd-networkd may send DHCP request
itself, it does not need dhcpcd helper. NetworkManager is not only UI,
it may manage interfaces. I would not be surprised if more than one tool
tries to manage ovs-system.
Perhaps some of the following command may shed some light on what really
happens:
systemctl --failed
networkctl list
networkctl status ovs-system
Last command should show Network File name if the interface is really
managed by systemd-networkd. Please, post its content
nmcli general status
nmcli device
nmcli -f CONNECTIONS device show ovs-system
ifquery --list
and check if /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/network/interfaces.d for
ovs-system entries
