Chemistry student having an existential crisis because hydrogen cannot form octahedral complexes! That poor blue H atom is surrounded by six cobalt atoms in an octahedral arrangement, which is about as chemically realistic as finding a penguin in the Sahara. Hydrogen typically forms just ONE bond, not six! This is the chemistry equivalent of dividing by zero – your professor would spontaneously combust if you submitted this on an exam. The bottom reaction is the only appropriate response when confronted with such molecular heresy.
