ESXi v5.5 U3 SSL Certificate not "checking in"

Curious if anyone else has seen this.  I enable HA on the cluster and I have a host that won't join HA, the error comes out as HA is unavailable.  Checking the fdm log I see the below error.

Its not like normal SSL errors where the cert is bad, the problem is the new cert is good its just not being accepted.  For the peer thumbprint it shows the thumbprint of the new cert, for the expectedthumbprint it shows the old cert.  For whatever reason it just won't look for the new one even though the cert is perfectly fine.  Any way to force vCenter to look for the new one?  Its like its just not registering for some reason.

I've done all the basic stuff like remove it from the cluster and add it back in.  Restart it, restart management agents.  I even emptied the cluster out completly and added everything back, same answer.

I'm experiencing the same thing in my environment. Did you ever find the solution?
