I don't think third-person really requires the omnicience aspect - you could follow just one person (example, the Harry Potter series) and reveal their thoughts alone. Having multiple main characters does complicate things, but if you only have one or two it shouldn't be too bad. Or you could omit the whole thought-reading thing (though I think this makes the characters more human and less disconnected from the reader) and write the events only.
