Default Mazda 30F27 RF tetrode for TV tuners.

The Mazda 30F27 RF tetrode is another valve that was never employed by TV tuner manufactures.
Perhaps it's the same for the American 6CY5 which is also a tetrode specifically designed for VHF TV tuners. https://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_6cy5.html
More likely it was decided beam shield triodes such as the PC95/6ER5 and PC97 were better than the RF tetrodes particularly in terms of noise performance.
From the 1960/61 R & T servicing book: Developments in Television Receivers, page 23. A new frame grid triode (PC97)
The presence of this beam shield provides a new way of neutralising the valve which has the advantage that one side of the neutralising capacitor can be connected to chassis, the other side going to the beam plate: see Fig 3. This technique is used in some recent tuners.
