I agree that what you've described is likely the true situation. It just looks funny to see a company claim to be worth $2 billion dollars and namedrop big brands and yet require a 6th cash injection. There is an incongruence there.

But that's how most big tech companies have been operating for the last 10-15(?) years.

How do you think public companies that have never made a $ got there.

True. Private funding rounds this big just weren't available, so these were IPOs instead of round FS.
Redis Labs are more or less doing the same.
