Default Pick 4 Dead Heat

I don't understand that in a Pick 3 pool, if there is a dead heat there are two separate payoffs.

While in a Pick 4 pool, the pools are co-mingled.

I have seen this twice fairly recently in two different states -

once yesterday at Delta where a 3:2 deadheated with a 39:1

There were two payouts for Pick 3's :
$2 Pick 3 (8-6-4) 3 Correct Paid $31.80
$2 Pick 3 (8-6-9) 3 Correct Paid $402.40

Yet one Pick 4 payout:
$2 Pick 4 (4-8-6-4/9) 4 Correct Paid $127.60


This also happened at Gulfstream last season with similar odds horses.

Yeah, I had the 9....so I feel like i was a bit robbed, but shouldn't there be separate pools just like in Pick 3's.

I don't play Pick 6's, but thinking about it, don't they co-mingle Pick 6's as well?
