According to the man page

If this flag is set to “no” or “off”, ssh will automatically add new host keys to the
user known hosts files and allow connections to hosts with changed hostkeys to proceed,
subject to some restrictions.

Need to so some more research to determine what those "restrictions" are.  One thing to
try would be to also add CheckHostIP=no

CheckHostIP
             If set to yes (the default), ssh(1) will additionally check the
             host IP address in the known_hosts file.  This allows it to detect
             if a host key changed due to DNS spoofing and will add addresses of
             destination hosts to ~/.ssh/known_hosts in the process, regardless
             of the setting of StrictHostKeyChecking.  If the option is set to
             no, the check will not be executed.
