So during switch over, the new active ovn-northd doesn't need to "continue" - it just recompute everything as usual. When incremental processing is implemented, the new active ovn-northd may need to do a recompute first and then handle the further changes incrementally. In either cases, there is no need to "continue the work left by the previous leader".
