>From the help for check_load (which I'm assuming you're using
in the command definition):

Usage:check_load [-r] -w WLOAD1,WLOAD5,WLOAD15 -c CLOAD1,CLOAD5,CLOAD15

So, in your service definition, you're telling check_load that you
want to trigger a critical condition if the 15 minute average is 4.0.

Yours is 4.06.  So, yes, it's critical.  :)

WLOAD1  = 1 minute average warning threshold
WLOAD5  = 5 minute average warning threshold
WLOAD15 = 15 minute average warning threshold

CLOAD1  = 1 minute average critical threshold
CLOAD5  = 5 minute average critical threshold
CLOAD15 = 15 minute average critical threshold

If you want your 15 minute average to *not* trigger a critical, you
need to adjust that last value (4.0) to something higher.
