Luatua was charged for and found guilty of a different offence: Law 10.4(e) Dangerous tackling of an Opponent. It was an off the ball tackle, high (direct contact with the head) and with a swinging arm.

The number of the law seems to have changed, but the entry points haven't:

Mid-range entry point of 6 weeks, and the same deduction for mitigating factors (2 weeks) was applied. Hence the 4 weeks.

@stargazer Thanks. I guess that begs the question of why one mid range is 6 weeks and why the other is 4 weeks.
