Typically, it's difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizes only by researching a spec sheet. The image here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm X-T30 and E-M10 III.

As you can see, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X-T30 with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-T30 will render more detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more recent Fujifilm X-T30 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
