I think this might be an issue with how Twitch handles things.
And if I am not wrong, there is an absolute maximum bitrate that even Twitch partners have to follow as well, though I have no idea what that limit would be. Based of what you describe, my guess that everything over 8000kbps wil be transcoded to lower resolutions and bitrates, as it is too much for most viewers, and Twitch's ingest servers.
Sidenote, going too high with the bitrate will break Twitch ToS, regardless of partner status.

Correct, Twitch will remove Source quality if you stream beyond their recommended maximum bitrate.
