Really look at position 6 and the comments

"Most likely due to the defects of the 5-piece tablebase, both engines evaluate
this position as winning for White - "

If the engines were not using the 5-piece tablebases how can this be "due to the
defects of the 5-piece tablebase"? Clearly the writer thinks that he is using 5
pieces tablebases.

I suppose you could read the sentence as saying that the engines are too
depedent on 5-pieces tablebases and hence cannot figure out the right score
without them, but that's unlikely I think.
