It should have swithed to the next host of the pool.  Please run

  gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr 'keyserver --hosttable' /bye

which shows what dirmngr knows about the pool.  Here is an example:

$ gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr 'keyserver --hosttable' /bye

Here host [2001:67c:2050:1000::3:4] (index 4) is used.
