SBvsBB spot, easy open, hand kinda plays itself, betting big, protecting against flushdraws.

I hate this type of scenario in Omaha, where you play out of position, your hand doesn't improve ott or otr and the river completes a flush that is 100% in the calling range of villain. (he can offcourse also have a full house, I'm beat either way)

How to play such a spot better? small cbet river?
I mean, if I was villain in this spot, I would not be valuebetting the river with a flush, since it's a paired board, but when he is not cheking behind, he has something most of the time

Everybody hates to play OOP in Omaha. BB may have many hands in this situation, on flop he may have 7 without A kicker, overpair, fd or both, on turn may have already straight. Normally I make 1/3 bet on river, 7xxx, straight, Q7 and flush will call, QQ will raise. When you check river it's also nice spot for pure bluff for BB.

When block betting river with hand having showdown value question is if we get enough weaker hands to call. In this case we maybe get weaker trips to call but it seems too thin.

So I would mainly x-f as we also block hearts which we would want villain to have. We have no clubs either. Alternatively we could sometimes go for river x-r bluff but it's quite a ballsy move. Hand itself is ok for it not having club and having trips to block boats. Not having club make it more likely opponent is value betting flush which should be in tough spot facing raise. But yeah some players might not value bet flushes at all and getting boat to fold is usually very tough.
