Typically, it is very difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizing merely by looking through specs. The visual below should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 6D MII and K-30.

All in all, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 6D MII with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 6D MII will render greater detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The fresher 6D MII provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
