I've never heard of the mastic itself smelling bad. I'm not saying it can't but this is new to me. Is it a petroleum type of smell or more sour? Asbestos itself has no odor at all so it would have to be in the binders--or in the floor beneath.
If it's a sour smell, I would be inclined to think there is a mold problem rather than the mastic. If that is the case, it's ultimately a moisture issue and the floor needs to be thoroughly dried before you skim coat it (e.g. humidifier for a few days until you don't have to empty it anymore). Also, if it's mold you'll have to address the reason for the moisture problem in the first place. But you probably know this already.
Sorry I can't help you more.
