That looks okay to me. Can you add some logging, retest and check /var/log/ltm for the log output?

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
   log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Connected=[IP::local_addr]:[TCP::client_port] [virtual name]"
}
when LB_SELECTED {
   if {[IP::addr [LB::server addr] equals 8.8.8.8] } {
      snat 6.6.6.6 
      log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Selected=[LB::server], SNAT=[LB::snat], matched=8.8.8.8"
   } else {
      snat automap
      log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Selected=[LB::server], SNAT=[LB::snat], not matched=8.8.8.8"
   }
}
