Section 4055 says:

If the keyUsage extension is present in a certificate conveys an RSA
public key with the id-RSAES-OAEP object identifier, then the
keyUsage extension MUST contain only the following values:

It should say:

If the keyUsage extension is present in a certificate that conveys an
RSA public key with the id-RSAES-OAEP object identifier, then the
keyUsage extension MUST contain only the following values:

Notes:

The certificate, rather than the keyUsage extension, conveys the id-RSAES-OAEP OID.

This was likely a typo based on the wording of the previous paragraph, "When a certificate conveys an RSA public key". This aligns the language with the paragraph earlier in this section, "If the keyUsage extension is present in an end-entity certificate that conveys an RSA public key".
