Thanks for the detailed explanation and reference. Both this comment and
the slides reference VRF and per-tenant table lookup which is the same
as VRF.

If you allocated a VRF device for the tenant, the SRv6 header pop and
route lookup can be done very similar to how MPLS works when the goal is
to do a route lookup vs forwarding to a specific nexthop, be it main table:

ip -f mpls route add 200 dev lo

or VRF table

ip -f mpls route add 200 dev red

Take a look at the mpls code. Unless I am missing something this use
case is very similar.
