The reason given is that the audit office of the government of Cuba recently became a member of OLACEF, and Resolution VI of the Eight Meeting of Consultation prohibits the Government of Cuba from participating in the Inter-American System, which includes the OAS.

This would not be the first time representatives of the Cuban government have entered the OAS premises since the adoption of Resolution VI.
