As Navitas CheckMate performs availability without retrieving a PNR, then it sees the 'unfiltered' availability response and reports 4 seats as being available.
If your consultants are not able to find the seats CheckMate is reporting, then ensure they attempt a new Availability entry without any PNR open to double check they are not seeing the filtered results.
At all times consultants must follow the guidelines and processes for the carrier in question when attempting to cancel / resell / change the booking to a different class.
