Quite often, it is difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes purely by checking specs. The picture below will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the M50 and A6700.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Sony A6700 to give you greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged M50 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
