No. CC-BY requires an attribution at every use of the data. That's why it is not compatible to our ODbL/Contributor Terms. OSM requires only an attribution of "OpenStreetMap contributors" and nobody else from its data users. We have some government data in Germany which is available under CC-BY. Usually the data owner granted an exemption to use the data because he was satified by attribution at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors You have to ask Skybox for a exemption to make this imagary usable for OSM.
