Hello Richard,
That is peculiar: the monitor does NOT show 4Kp60 as supported in the
monitor EDID information.
Here is the exhaustive list of mode reported supported:

Could you cross-check the monitor settings? What type of cable do you have between the dock and the monitor? (connector type on each end) The reason I'm asking is the EDID is consistent with HDMI 1.4 so used with HDMI or DP++ modes.
4Kp60 would be higher than the advertised max clock rate of 300MHz. So both are consistent.
Unless the EDID allows higher, we won't try higher.
Kind regards,
Alban
