  Same as for old CARP, you can achieve behavior when a box with lower
advskew yields master status to a second one, setting:

sysctl net.inet.carp.preempt=1

  If an interface on the master has proper link state notification to the
kernel, then once the interface goes down, the advskew on the box will be
demoted and backup box will preempt it.
