Mouse cursor moves to my other monitor when focusing next last space

[aphexetwine]

If I call
yabai -m space --focus next
on the rightmost space, then my mouse cursor moves to my other monitor (Macbook screen on the side)

I tried
yabai -m space --focus next || yabai -m space --focus first
with the same behavior.

Disabling "Displays have separate spaces" in the Settings causes Yabai to not work.

Is this expected? how to disable this behavior so that only the spaces in the current monitor are being cycled
