The ruling in April 2022 says that non EU carriers operating flights for EU carriers are in scope of EC261.
I think because whole ticket was KLM and Delta acted for KLM, then a claim can be made.
However your point that Delta was operating air carrier is valid. I think the claim actually has to be made against Delta, and then as per the ECJ ruling Delta can seek to get it back from KLM.

Sounds very similar situation to the test case for this ruling. Which I believe was Lufthansa to United connection in US.
As your UA flight was cancelled and you were late into final destination, and as it was an OS ticket originating in Austria (I assume), you should have a straightforward claim against United of 600 Euros.
Does Austria have a small claims court?
