Looks like the planner is expecting 33989 rows, making 
an index scan a ppor choice, but in fact only 100 rows
actually match your srcobj value.

Could we see the explain analyze with enable_seqscan
= false please ?

Possibly you might want totry to increase the statistics
target for this columns , as in:
  ALTER TABLE ommemberrelation ALTER COLUMN srcobj
      SET STATISTICS 1000;
  ANALYZE;
and try again (with enable_seqscan=true)

A target of 1000 ismost probably overkill, but
start with this value, and if it improves matters,
you can experiment with lower settings.
