Yellow glue witll proubly be the best for this. You can buy really cheap disposable mini paint rollers for a couple bucks, comes with tray and handle, bought a few over the years for my landlording job.
I used the (thinner) cork sheet for my yard and simply used Alex Plus latex caulk, same as for my usual (HO) 1/4" cork mainline roadbed. I applied the caulk to the plywood in "S" curves, spread it with a putty knife, laid the cork and put books on it over night. Very easy.
I would think the thicker carpenter's yellow wood glue would be tougher to spread, more expensive, etc.
I highly doubt that water from scenery building would cause any significant issue. It was no problem with my scenery adjacent to my main roadbed nor my thinner yard cork.

I'm looking for suggestions about gluing cork sheet to plywood.
I'm not talking about roadbed - I just use full strength yellow glue for that. I'm talking about gluing a sheet of cork to a sheet of plywood.
Yellow glue works, but it's a pain to spread on the bottom of the cork, and it uses a lot of glue. I tried diluting the glue to make it easier to spread and to not use too much, but sometimes that weakens the glue bond so that the cork isn't stuck well.
I've thought about using a spray adhesive like 3M Super 77, but I'm not sure how well that would work either. Will the bond be permanent, especially when the cork gets wet from scenery building?
Any thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks!
