Post should be titled "When good starting hands aren"t enough" :P  Or "Why pairs in your hole cards are trouble in PLO"

If you"re up against a bare over-pair in PLO, then you"re fine calling a pot bet on the flop with one pair (where you"ve hit the flop) and a gut shot.  Of course you have to be pretty sure that your opponent does indeed have an over-pair and hasn"t properly connected with the flop.  Hand equity stats below for your exit hand (on the flop), from PLO odds calculator tool at http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-tools/odds-calculator/omaha:-

Your hand:  46.22%
Your opponent"s hand:  53.78%

Surely he cant be a favourite with a pair of 5"s and a gut shot to a 4 outter?

In addition to their two-pair draws and runner-runner outs, yep.  Had to guess that your 4th card in that hand was something inconsequential (only saw KKQ in your OP).
