what I can only see is :
03:32:37.928679 IP 10.165.250.22.3868 > 192.168.2.13.40001: sctp (1) [HB REQ]
03:32:37.928717 IP 192.168.2.14.3868 > 192.168.2.13.40001: sctp (1) [HB REQ]
03:32:37.929247 IP 192.168.2.13.40001 > 192.168.2.14.3868: sctp (1) [ABORT]

this ABORT might be caused by no assoc.

can you show more details about your env ?
1. the iptables rule for nat in router (# iptables -L -t nat)

2. the asocs info in client (# cat /proc/net/sctp/assocs)

3. more packet you captured, like 4-shake and some packets
    right before these 3 packets.

4. conntrack info in router (# cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack)
