have you tried to play with "trigger_rule"?
After update we've reverse situation when SKIPPED status is being pushed despite of trigger_rule set to "all_done"

> So this is basically the same issue as AIRFLOW-872 and AIRFLOW-719. A workaround had fixed this (https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/pull/2125), but was later reverted (https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/pull/2195). I totally agree with the reason for reverting, but I still think this is an issue. 
> The issue is related to any operators that involves cascading skipped tasks, like ShortCircuitOperator or LatestOnlyOperator. These operators mark only their *direct* downstream task as SKIPPED, but additional downstream tasks from that skipped task is left up to the scheduler to cascade the SKIPPED state (see latest only op docs about this expected behavior https://airflow.incubator.apache.org/concepts.html#latest-run-only). However, instead the scheduler marks the DAG run as FAILED prematurely before the DAG has a chance to skip all downstream tasks.
> This example DAG should reproduce the issue: https://gist.github.com/dhuang/61d38fb001c3a917edf4817bb0c915f9. 
> Expected result: DAG succeeds with tasks - latest_only (success) -> dummy1 (skipped) -> dummy2 (skipped) -> dummy3 (skipped)
> Actual result: DAG fails with tasks - latest_only (success) -> dummy1 (skipped) -> dummy2 (none) -> dummy3 (none)
> I believe the results I'm seeing are because of this deadlock prevention logic, https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/blob/1.8.1/airflow/models.py#L4182. While that actual result shown above _could_ mean a deadlock, in this case it shouldn't be. Since this {{update_state}} logic is reached first in each scheduler run, dummy2/dummy3 don't get a chance to cascade the SKIPPED state. Commenting out that block gives me the results I expect.
> [~bolke] I know you spent awhile trying to reproduce my issue and weren't able to, but I'm still hitting this on a fresh environment, default configs, sqlite/mysql dbs, local/sequential/celery executors, and 1.8.1/master.
