What does the syslinux.cfg look like on the stick? And is there a
overlay-* file in the LiveOS directory?

If the cmdline looks ok and the file is there you can try addinf
rd.debug to the cmdline to get dracut to log what's happening at boot
time (it is what actually sets up the overlay during boot).
