iptables doesn't prevent packets from showing up in tcpdump.  So you
will always see everything you receive on the wire in tcpdump,
independent of any iptables configuration.

this is because tcpdump hooks into PF_PACKET, which is at layer2, before
the ipstack (and thus iptables) is consulted at all.
