You are mistaken here I think. This doesn't influence routing, only
masquerading. You are problably missing (in addition to what you have) policy
based routing, something like:

ip rule add from 192.168.0.0/22 table 10
ip rule add from 192.168.4.0/22 table 11
ip route add default via your_gateway_on_eth3 dev eth3 table 10
ip route add default via your_gateway_on_eth0 dev eth0 table 11

(in reality it is slightly more complicated, you need to add proper routes for
other subnets if you want them to be able to communicate with each other).
