There is a big difference between a Flash/Supergirl crossover and a Justice League/Masters of The Universe crossover. Flash and Supergirl are both DC characters, and it makes sense for them to be in the same, television multiverse.
it does not matter that both shows are based on some Comics from DC Comics! The different Uni- and Multiverses are created around a company. in case of the comic world the company is "DC Comics" so every part of thier property can be a part of thier Multiverse. And everything outside from thier property belongs simply to a different Uni-or Multiverse even if it comes to Crossovers between the characters of those Worlds.
For the Television Series the company that created isn't "Dc Comics" but the Television NETWORK. In the Case of "Arrow" the Multiverse is the "The CW Multiverse" and all thier different TV Shows are Paralleluniverses to eatch over. Some can be based on Characters from DC Comics but the Show per se is NOT the property of "DC Comcs" but the property of "The CW"!
The Show "Supergirl" is the property of the CBS Network and belongs totally to them and thier "CBS Multiverse" and not to the "The CW Multiverse" like the Batman/Spawn Comic Crossover Batman belongs to DC Comics, Spawn belongs to Image Comics. Besides the Crossover of the two Characters they belongs to completly different Universes (or Multiverses) owned by completly different companys
Like it is in the Movie World, the X-men Movies are made by a completly different company and THAT is the Reason that this movies are NOT a Part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe although they are also BASED on Characters from the Marvel Comics!

N Also, the two shows aren't as separate as you might think. Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg worked on Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl. And things like Opal City and Superman were referenced on both shows.
Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale made the DC Comic "Batman the Long halloween" and also a Dare Devil Comic! This didn't mean Batman and Dare Devil are connected to eatch other now, this means Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale are working for different companys. Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg etc. worked for different companys too, thats all! ;-)
And of course both different Shows can reference the same things from DC Comics because both Shows are BASED on Characters from DC Comics! For Example the Supergirl Show can still use the Character "Brother Eye" as he exists in the Comics as a Killer satellite. In The Show "Arrow" he is a humen Person.
Btw that is exactly the Reason for the "stupid" Embargos. A Character used by a different Movie or Show shows up in another Movie or Show and people like you thing " ah this confirms the Universes are the same". ^^
