OSPF neighbor adjacency not forming

I am having some issues with getting an OSPF neighbor up and running. I can ping across the L3 connection but no neighbors are forming. Our main OSPF network is a hub spoke topology. My topology is as follows:

Data Center -> Remote Office -> Management switch

Diagram is here.

The issue is between the remote office switch and the management switch inside that office. The neighbors are forming between datacenter and remote office no issues.

Data center (Pair of Dell S4048-ON switches configured with VLT and Peer Routing):

router ospf 1 network 10.10.0.0/16 area 0 passive-interface default no passive-interface Vlan 311 default-information originate always 

Remote office (Pair of Dell S4048-ON switches configured with VLT and Peer Routing):

Interface VLAN 7 IP on this pair is: 10.11.7.1 and 10.11.7.2/29.

router ospf 1 network 10.11.0.0/16 area 0 network 10.10.7.0/29 area 0 passive-interface default no passive-interface Vlan 7 no passive-interface Vlan 311 

Management switch (Dell N4064F):

Interface VLAN 7 IP on this switch is 10.11.7.3 /29

router ospf router-id 10.11.100.1 network 10.11.7.0 255.255.255.248 area 0 network 10.11.100.0 255.255.255.0 area 0 passive-interface default no passive-interface vlan 7 exit 

Will adding the default-information originate always on the remote office switch cause any connectivity issues upstream or will that only affect any switch further in the chain such as the management switch?

Shouldn't the network statement for 10.11.0.0 /16 area 0 be sufficient for the L3 connectivity to the management switch?

Should the management switch be put in the same area 0 or should I create area 1?

Was thinking that I needed to make sure that the connection from the management network back to the main network was an L3 link in case of any issues on the main network.
