PLO25 top set vs possible rivered straight OOP

Blinds: $0.10/$0.25 (6 Players) MP: $45.44
CO: $17.37
BN: $22.75
SB: $12.94
BB: $33.50 (Hero)
UTG: $51.95
Six hands into session, so no real reads.
I've just felted a short stack villain with AAxx who's now left the table and this hand comes up a couple later.
Preflop ($0.35) Hero is BB with K K 8 4
UTG raises to $0.50, MP folds, CO calls $0.50, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.25
I elect to call MW OOP with my KKxx, its either going to flop big or I can happily get away from it post-flop.
Flop ($1.60) 6 K 3
Hero checks, UTG bets $1.01, CO folds, Hero raises to $4.56, UTG calls $3.55
Gin flop for me, no flush draws and with only a low straight draw the only villain I'm concerned about is CO, as UTG shouldn't have too many draws here.
I elect to X/R to try and get some additional money in the pot, and get called by UTG
Turn ($10.72) 6 K 3 J
Hero bets $10.26, UTG calls $10.26
Turn hits villains perceived range from UTG and likely gives him more equity, I don't want to slow play any more and lead for pot.
River ($31.24) 6 K 3 J 4
Hero
With only ~60% PSB left behind and no broadway straight, what do we think is most optimal strategy here?

Is checking to induce a bluff better?

Is anyone worried about possible low straight coming in?

Any thoughts would be most welcome...

Thanks.
