There is currently work underway to allow btrfs to work with subpage
blocksizes i.e being able to mount a 4k filesystem on a 64k page
filesystem. Currently you cannot do this so as you correctly deduced -
you'd have to either equalize the page sizes of both systems or wait
until this work lands in upstream.
