I think it's fine. is there a problem? You cannot load gtk3 and gtk4 in the same application, and consequently, you cannot load libnma.so (gtk3) and libnma-gtk4 together. libnma is a GUI library based on GTK. It seems not unreasonable that the GTK version is part of the library name -- in particular, as there might come GTK5 in the future. These are really two different libraries (with very similar API and the same underlying sources).
I see the necessity and maybe this is just bike shedding on my side but I'd personally prefer the gtk part being dropped, so the soname becomes libnma-4.so.0
And correspondingly libnma-4.pc (libnma4.pc would be fine as well).Or do we have some prior art where the gtkX string is encoded in the library soname?
I also find it a bit inconsistent that the gobject instrospection files do not have GTK string embedded.
