Why the photos are added to the library when they shouldn't

My main photo is a folder that is accessible by Lightroom.  Photos taken by my iPhone are added to my library iCloud.  Every few weeks, I have export, re-import with Lightroom and then delete Photos.  After deciding what to keep, etc., I import them to the pictures, but as referenced images.  I noticed some strange events that some of these re-imported referenced photos are added to Photos instead of staying as referenced photos library.  Today, I exported all my pictures from December to my iMac desktop computer.  I imported to Lightroom by moving them to a specific folder on my HARD drive iMac.  Then, I went on my page web iCloud, selected all except 12 photos and deleted.  I checked the pictures, and indeed the pictures were gone.  I checked my iPhone the went and then my iPad.  Everything except a few stray photos disappeared from this device (do not understand my a few that had been removed from iCloud were still on iPad) I deleted these stray photos if all THE Photos on my iMac and devices showed the same thing, only 12 photos.  Here are my Photos of preference settings:

My devices have these settings (iPhone has also upload photos of burst selected):

Once all this has been checked and rechecked, I imported my photos of December in Photos like referenced pictures, yet more than half of the referenced images was imported as pictures added to the photo library.  I have a smart album that photos of IDs added to the library instead of referenced photos.  Even some were copies of original 12 I had saved for my library of Photos at the beginning of this experience together.  These photos that have been added to the photo library are now also on my devices as well as when I check my web page to iCloud.  How can I keep peaks which should be referenced photos to be added if they are uploaded?  Some of the "uploaded photos" are in a shared file.  If this affects what happens?

Once all this has been checked and rechecked, I imported my photos of December in Photos like referenced pictures, yet more than half of the referenced images was imported as pictures added to the photo library.

Photos won't matter pictures, as if the same photo has already been imported as successful. It will use the original master file run instead, which is already in the photo library, even if the original file must be in the recently deleted album.

Make sure that you have no original managed in your library, before you try to import as a reference.  The original of your managed can be created by importing through my photo stream, for example.
