I am in a different field and don't use arXiv, but since you submitted your paper prior to the other paper being "published" in arXiv I don't see the problem.

If it gets accepted, you may have to cite the arXiv paper. Assuming people actually cite those papers? I have no idea if that is common practice in your field.

If it gets rejected, just move forward with a lower tier journal. Although, I am not sure how editors evaluate non-peer reviewed self-published papers in terms of "prior art". If you submitted to arXiv prior to submitting it to CVPR, this obviously won't be an issue.
