"CS skills" is broad, and mostly irrelevant for a DevOps role.
Computer Science can be quite fascinating and can involve considering fancy data structures/algorithms, applications of linear algebra in terms of computer graphics / computer visions, machine learning or AI.. or stuff like how a compiler or a search engine works.
But I'd say moving from System Administration to DevOps, it's more important to know software development skills (like using version control software, or how to achieve the things you'd do as a sysadmin using a programming languague) than it is to know about algorithms for balancing a binary search tree, or to crank out leetcode problems.
