Your first: the main subject is out of focus:
In addition you should lift the shadows and get the highlights down, to get a better exposed image.
(The camera is probably not the issue, but as there is nothing really sharp, my guess is that camera shake was the issue.)
Hello,
I have a different opinion. 1/160 sec at 85mm isn't that slow for this type of shot. It is fast enough to capture people walking towards you. And I doubt that they were speed walking. 😊
However, I do think the camera missed the focus on the people and instead focused more on the background. The background is a little sharper than they are.
All in all, I would suggest the lens is the main problem. Did you use the kit lens that came with the camera? The kit lens combo isn't always that good and can indeed give results like this. I've had this experience myself, and as a result, can often recognise the result that it gives.
Also, in all the samples you provided, the 'look' of the photo is the same, which indicates to me the quality of the lens.
This may or may not be a factor, but do consider the lens. If it is a lens that came with the camera, take a look at 3rd party lenses from Tamron, Sigma, and Tokina, for example.

It's an EF-mount lens in the L series from Canon:
As mirrorless cameras are measuring the focus on the sensor, it is very improbable that there is a lens issue as there where with DSLR cameras and microadjustments. As not all lenses are equal, and this is the kit lens for a Canon EOS 5/6D, it's probably not the best lens they offer, but it is not of the cheap type, they use in the low end cameras. It still may be the issue, as the adapter ring takes it's toll, and the lens is not really build for mirror less cameras.
My guess is that the autofocus setting is to one shot, which is wrong for moving subjects. Even a short delay may bring the subject out of focus. A different assumption would be camera shake, but the stabilization on these cameras is amazingly good. But I have no experience with the adapter ring for EF lenses. It may be that the stabalization is handicaped against RF lenses.
Just for reference, I would refer @maria graziab50418227 to this video, which I found quite good for explaining the AF settings and tips on customization of the camera. As it is for wildlife photography, you need sometimes, however, to interpret the settings. https://youtu.be/CDZoXrBdyFo
Now I purchased the new 24-105RF and will now do some testing to make sure it's not caused by the camera, which was developed less than a year ago.
I've noticed some blurry photos taken with the Tamron 24-70 f2.8 II with the adapter.This had never happened to me before with the Canon 6D MII.

The RF will probably do better results, however, the adapter should also work quite well, especially with canon lenses. Is your new lens also f4L? With third party lenses I could expect issues, as they may need a firmware update. If you used microsdjustments on your 6D, you may indeed have an issue with the lens. But again: with a mirrorless camera, where the sharpness is measured on the sensor, there should be no issue with sharpness. However, if you shoot a moving object with single focus, you may have an issue, as the subject may move slightly out of focus, the moment you press the shooting button.
It may be worth to ask the question in a Canon forum.
