This does not seem te be a legal restriction.

NB In Nederland, roundabouts and miniroundabouts are legally no different
from any other junction. Signs govern the right of way / yield obligations.
Without specific giveaway signs the rule is: give way to traffic coming
from the right. This would mean: yield to traffic entering the roundabout.

Of course most roundabouts have the road signs or there would be a lot of
incidents, but mini roundabouts often do not. So in that case they are just
guidance points.

Main point: there is no difference. I guess this means we have no
roundabouts, just rotaries. Most of these are tagged as roundabouts anyway.

U turns are allowed unless there is a traffic sign saying you can't.

In short, mini-roundabouts are just regular junctions in Nederland.
