The Sony 200-600 has a standard price of $1,998.00. That's $1 less than the Fuji 150-600mm f/5.6-8. If you found a retailer offering a new copy of the Sony at a significant price reduction, I'd be cautious about assuming there isn't a catch. If the price looks "too good to be true," it probably is.

I don’t know where you live, but where I live the Sony is about 10–15% cheaper, and available from many reputable dealers. No price reduction, no catch, just business as usual.

Price is relative, and if something is overpriced only you can know, but maybe there is something to it that the Fujifilm lens is overpriced compared to the Sony? It’s the same story with Olympus / OMDS. Their longer lenses aren’t particularly cheap compared to FF, but a comparison between systems with different sensor sizes is almost always BS.
