This is in line with jhowell's observation of a software version cutoff - my Voyage is running firmware 5.13.6, which is the last version ever released for this device. My Oasis is on 5.16.2.1.1. I'm in Central Europe if that matters.
It's not clear that older firmware (that supports KFX) cannot technically support personal document KFX.

You might try this: take the KFX download from your Oasis and side load it to your Voyage (do not copy the .sdr folder). I tested this on a couple of my Kindles (running 5.16.3; I don't have Kindles running earlier firmware) and the book syncs reading position and annotations, and in Library appears to be downloaded from cloud (has Permanently delete option).

If this works for you, then we may still hold out hope that the feature can be enabled for older firmware.
