That is probably because SA does not know about quarantining. SA scores
a message. Quarantining, rejecting, delivering into a dedicated spam
folder -- all actions that SA does not do.
As you correctly stated yourself, you are not configuring SA by choosing
a quarantine threshold. You want to read the docs of the software you
are actually configuring.

These limits are not imposed by SA, but that other software you are
trying to set up.
