Quite often, it can be difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizing just by checking technical specs. The visual underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A6400 and RX10.

As you can tell, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The A6400 with its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Sony A6400 will give you greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The newer A6400 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
