OK, the extra information you've provided mostly indicates that sharing the address is not the cause of your issue, however, let me respond to a few things;
1) The originating segment doesn't matter; if the SNAT IP consumes port 16000 for an outbound translation that port cannot be used to serve a different inbound connection to the same IP address. Port 16000 for that IP address has already been used, how, why or where is not relevant.
2) Apologies but I missed the fact the inbound VS was NOT wildcard and was getting confused with the outbound one.
3) Regarding the Linux OS, this is a red herring. Any settings found there are for the HMS and management functions and interface. LTM/TMM does not use these settings; it has multiple protocol stacks that operate independently of the HMS. So yes, it's possible a lower port number could be used for an SNAT and that setting is completely ignored for anything other than management related traffic.
