Perhaps the picture is wrong, but Laowa does make the lens with a RF mount as stated on their website..........click on mount options:

You are correct! There is a bit of nuance here, though. The EF version has an electronically controlled aperture, the RF version is fully manual.

And earlier batches of the EF version would identify as being a crop lens, so the R5/R6/R3 would not allow FF pictures. To fix this you'll need to get the electronics replaced or the lens exchanged for a more recent batch.

I hope Laowa goes back to using electronically controlled apertures in their RF lenses, it makes doing macro a lot easier.
