Okay, so call turn.
River $390 Top board KJ552 diamonds brick,
Bottom board As7x6s7sKs
We check and villain pots. Now we lose to AA, KK, and we are quartered by A7. Is this even worth calling?

The longer answer is in a 9 handed game like this the nuts is always applicable. In a 9 handed game like this, saying, "I ONLY lose to xxxx" is going to be the beginning of a bad beat story when the villain bets the flop and then again bets the turn. The real money in this game is made with the mortal nuts that cannot be tied thereby saving you from getting quartered. The easiest mortal nuts that cannot be tied is the nut flush on a non-paired, non-straight flush board. Flushes in Omaha cannot be tied because you have to use your hole cards and cannot "play the board." Bet pot with the nut flush like a bat out of hell from the first street you have it, but notice I didn't say bet the nut flush draw.
Some examples of other mortal nuts that cannot be tied:
1. having the nut full house where you also have the hole card that blocks anyone having quads.
2. having the nut quads.
3. a non-flush board where the cards are so spread out that a straight is not possible like AQ972 and your top set is the nuts.
I mean, would we not pot a turn where we have top boat on one board+ open ended and a flush draw on another board when we are only losing to quads? Like JJQhTh on J633 KxTh3h2x?
Or another situation would be flopping top 2 + nut flush draw on one board and nut straight on the other.
I know my threshold for value betting is very high, but how literal are you taking your rule?
