Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading through a spec sheet. The visual below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 60Da and R5.

As you can see, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 60Da using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Canon R5 will give you greater detail because of its extra 27MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs more aggressively. The older 60Da is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
