How to formulate Unique value constraint in Integer Programming?
One way to make this work is to change the underlying representation. Instead of your basic variables being $x_i$ and $y_i$, use binary indicator variables to indicate which of $\{1,2,3,4\}$ is assigned to $x_i$.
For instance, with four variables $b_{i1}, b_{i2}, b_{i3}, b_{i4}$, if we constrain each $0 \le b_{ij} \le 1$ as well as $b_{i1} + b_{i2} + b_{i3} + b_{i4} = 1$, then exactly one of the four variables will be $1$ and the rest must be $0$. We can then set $x_i = b_{i1} + 2b_{i2} + 3b_{i3} + 4b_{i4}$ to give $x_i$ the chosen value.
Now it should be easy to see how to enforce distinctness: to avoid repeating the value $1$, we just need to prevent $b_{i1} = b_{j1} = 1$ for any distinct $i,j$, and this can be done with a single inequality $\displaystyle\sum_i b_{i1}\le1$. Then another to prevent $2$ from being repeated, etc.
EDIT: Here's a different encoding inspired by dexter04's idea. For each $i$ and $j$ create a boolean variable $b = b_{ij}$ where $0\le b_{ij}\le 1$, which encodes whether $x_i \ge x_j+1$ or $x_j \ge x_i+1$. Add the inequalities $$x_i \ge x_j + (1-b) - 100(b) \qquad x_j \ge x_i + (b) - 100(1-b).$$ When $b=0$, the first inequality becomes $x_i \ge x_j+1$, and the second becomes $x_j \ge x_i - 100$, which is harmless. When $b=1$, the same thing happens but with $x_i$ and $x_j$ reversed. Since $b$ must be either $0$ or $1$, exactly one of the two situations ($x_i > x_j$ or $x_j > x_i$) must occur but it doesn't mandate a particular side.
This is a more scalable solution when the range of values taken by $x_i$ is much larger than the number of variables.
