When we configure a MC using an osImage that cannot be pulled, the machine config daemon pod spams logs saying that the node is set to "Degraded" state, but the node is not set to "Degraded" state.

Only after long time, like 20 minutes or half and hour, the node eventually becomes degraded.

2. Check the logs in the machine config daemon pod, you can see this message being spammed, saying that the daemon is marking the node with "Degraded" status.

The node is not marked as degraded as it should. Only after long time, 20 minutes or so, the node becomes degraded.

When the podman pull command fails and the machine config daemon sets the node state as "Degraded", the node should actually be marked as "Degraded".
