In many cases, it is hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizes just by going through technical specs. The pic here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the R6 II and Quattro.

As you have seen, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The R6 II having a bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Sigma Quattro will produce more detail having an extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more recent R6 II is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
