I see no problem in the results below.
In[27]:= rr = Reduce[Max[a, b] == Max[c, d], c, Reals]
Out[27]= (d < Max[a, b] && c == Max[a, b]) || (d == Max[a, b] &&
c <= Max[a, b])
In[28]:= rr /. {d -> 2, a -> 4, b -> 3, c -> 6}
Out[28]= False
In[29]:= rr /. {d -> 4, a -> 4, b -> 3, c -> 6}
Out[29]= False
It occurs to me that you gave no serious information about what,
specifically, you did in "testing". That is to say, no code is shown. So
it is unlikely anyone will succeed in leading you to the lead.
