I dont know, but making the change in the 55-dm.rules file seems to do
the trick well enough for now.

Since local-fs.target indirectly depends on dm, this ensures ceph disk activation will only happen after dm is finished. It is entirely possible that the ownership is incorrect when ceph-disk trigger --sync starts running, but it will no longer race with dm and it can safely chown ceph:ceph and proceed with activation.
