I don't think that would work. If some parts of the data are CC-BY-SA, and some parts are under a new licence, then the resulting database )or maps derived from it) would be a derived work of both. That means that it can be distributed only under CC-BY-SA, and also that it can be distributed only under the new licence. The result would be that you cannot legally distribute it at all. Presumably OSM chose CC-BY-SA to stop other organizations taking the OSM data and distributing it under different conditions. Even if only some of the data in your work is OSM data licensed CC-BY-SA, you must distribute the whole work under that licence, or not at all.
