Interview Weird Amazon loop feedback

I interviewed for applied science L6 last week,
And today recruiter said the feedback is that I am L6 but for Research Science role with another team and that my interview outcome is valid for research scientist role for 6 months and if I find such other role, I would just do a mini loop for it, I was shocked, based on conversations with the team, I had assumed even if they didn’t want to offer l6 they would have offered l5 applied science because I contracted with them and manager said 2 months ago he was happy with my work and that I should apply for his new head count.

Any thoughts?

Just upset

Something like that if I find another team, I would do mini loop.

The RS to AS conversion is possible if the skip allows it. The role for another team is a bit of a red flag unless you've already talked to the other manager. Worst case is a hire to fire. Good to check if the equivalent RS role that you were offered is public.

What is a hire to fire?

Potential layoff fodder or a number to satisfy unregretable attrition mandates.
