Hmmmmm.............I must admit that I don't have much experience in passing NFS mounts within NFS mounts. So I'm still thinking about this one (and I'll be interested to see what my fellow moderators think) but these are my initial thoughts.

I expect that when you logged into Server3 and could see the two mounts from Server1 & Server2 that you were using an account with reasonable privileges; perhaps your own account or even root. Be aware that when you connect from a remote NFS client to Server3 it is probably using a lowly account, eg nobody, and so access can easily be caught up in standard Unix security. Therefore, I would be tempted to open up security by setting the mount points on Server3 to 777. Create some small files in the root of the share on Server3 and test whether you can see those from the remote NFS client(s). You might also try opening up security on the Server1 and Server2 shared directories to 777. Also check out how the NFS server security is configured in /etc/exports files on each NFS server.

Do be professional and record the directory/file you are changing security on, who the owner is, who the group is, and what the security mask is on every file before you change it so that you know how to reverse it all.

Obviously, if changing security does make it work, you still might not want to leave such open security in place, I understand that, but at least it will prove what the problem is. I'll post again if/when I have more thoughts on this.
