conntrack only keeps track of  connections, it does absolutely nothing 
to your firewall rules,  it's up to you to decide what to do with the 
connection states in your rules.   At some point you have a rule that is 
similar to  --state established,related  -j ACCEPT, that's where you are 
allowing packets through because they are in conntrack, if you want to 
eliminate some packets regardless of state then just do so before you 
hit the rule.
