Can you put a PL lens on a Sony FX6, or EF glass on a RED? The short answer depends on flange focal distance: the distance from the mount to the sensor.
A lens can usually be adapted to a camera whose flange distance is shorter, because the adapter fills the gap. It can't go the other way without optics. That's why mirrorless mounts (E, RF, L, Z) take almost anything with an adapter, while PL cameras can't take mirrorless lenses. Electronic communication (autofocus, iris, metadata) depends on the specific adapter.
The matrix below applies that flange rule. 'Adapter' means the flange rule allows it and adapters are made; 'Check' means the flange distances are almost equal, so it depends on the specific camera (some offer a swappable mount instead); 'No' means the lens sits too far forward. Image circle coverage still has to match your sensor.
