YOu’re calling your code in the inappropriate way; you should be using a tax_query, not a meta query: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters

you would be using ‘field’ instead of key,

field (string) – Select taxonomy term by. Possible values are ‘term_id’, ‘name’, ‘slug’ or ‘term_taxonomy_id’. Default value is ‘term_id’.

Also, if you’re using a relationship field to a taxonomy, that’s the inappropriate way to work with Taxonomies and WordPress. You should have your taxonomy associated to the post-types.

If you want to change the display parameters of your Taxonomy, there are methods for that:

https://docs.pods.io/code-snippets/change-taxonomy-input-to-single-select/

You should never use a Taxonomy as a relationship field, because it won’t work in your queries properly.

You need to switch to an associated taxonomy and a tax_query as above and it will work properly.

Basically, by switching a taxonomy to a relationship field, you break all the inherent taxonomy abilities of that taxonomy. That’s what you don’t want to do; you just want to change how it’s displayed. That link above will give you the ability to change the way the taxonomy is hanled in the back-end UI, but still let it behave like a taxonomy.
