My understanding is that the point of the 'all-links' keyword is to show even the routes that do not meet the feasibility condition. However, in this lab scenario I am not seeing the route at all and I am wondering why.
The route I am concerned with is 10.22.22.16/29 on CSR2. The scenario is that the bandwidth on R4's interface G0/1 has been set to 10,000. So on R4 both routes (through g0/4 and g0/1) satisfy the feasibility condition and are both in the routing table. On R3 the route through R4 clearly does not satisfy the feasibility condition and the route does not show up anywhere, not even using the 'all-links' command as shown below. As stated above, I'm trying to understand why its not showing up under all-links when I thought that was the point of the command is to show even routes that don't satisfy the condition.

Hello,
I have actually done this exact lab from INE if I remember correctly. The reason it doesn't show up is because its not being learned from R4. R4's BW is so high that its also using R3 to get to that route. R3 is not showing both links with the all-links command.
Remember from EIGRP that it will not advertise a route it learned from its successor (the path its using to get to that route) back to that successor. So since R4 is using R3 to get to that network it wont advertise that network to R3 and as a result R3 only shows one path to that network while it in turn advertises it "downstream" to R4 because of the high metric.
Hope that helps

this lab for you
you want to see the effect of this command but you select the wrong router to see it
in my Lab
R1 recieve 6.6.6.6/32 via two path R2 and R3
I make R3 BW 1000000 so R1 now always use path via R3 for 6.6.6.6/32
you can see the path via R2 appear only when I run command with all-link keyword
in your case I thing it same you need to check in R4 the command not in R3 after you make sure that the cost of path is more higher that other path
