Default Question about a maybe important concept in Omaha

I am a Holdem player and just learned omaha, so sorry in advance if this is a silly question


Ok, so i watched the following Hand on Full Tilt:


Full Tilt Poker Game #4134500979: Table Eginton (6 max) - $200/$400 - Pot Limit Omaha Hi - 20:59:45 ET - 2007/11/10
Seat 1: xdhaj ($40,398)
Seat 4: Niki Jedlicka ($85,482)
Seat 5: David Benyamine ($26,398)
Seat 6: KObyTAPOUT ($106,038)
David Benyamine posts the small blind of $200
KObyTAPOUT posts the big blind of $400
The button is in seat #4
*** HOLE CARDS ***
xdhaj folds
Niki Jedlicka raises to $1,400
David Benyamine calls $1,200
KObyTAPOUT folds
*** FLOP *** [6c Qh Td]
David Benyamine checks
Niki Jedlicka checks
*** TURN *** [6c Qh Td] [4d]
David Benyamine bets $3,200
Niki Jedlicka calls $3,200
*** RIVER *** [6c Qh Td 4d] [8h]
David Benyamine bets $9,600
Niki Jedlicka raises to $24,000
David Benyamine calls $12,198, and is all in
Uncalled bet of $2,202 returned to Niki Jedlicka
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Niki Jedlicka shows [Ts Jd Ad 9d] a straight, Queen high
David Benyamine is sitting out
David Benyamine mucks
Niki Jedlicka wins the pot ($53,194) with a straight, Queen high


What i was wondering:

- Niki checked behind on the flop, thus Benyamine´s for leading the turn is decently wide.
- Niki has a Monster-draw (OESD+FD) and a very good equity.

My Question:

Looking back at the Hand i thought repoting it on the turn might have been a good play for niki, since he should have a decent amount of fold equity.
But he chose to call, and this actually pretty quick. I wonder if benya pays him off a lot, because niki shouldnt be able to win the pot as a bluff, since he actually hits the usual "bluffing outs" like the flush etc and is not able to bluff them.

What is the thought process behind calling vs repoting in this spot?

thx.
