Think of it as if you got a speeding ticket and then showed up to pay and the court said "Eh, it's around here somewhere.  Meanwhile you can't drive until you pay." And then they never tell you how much you owe.

They also haven't processed the 85k voter registrations they had in May for those who did pay. 

As bad as the appeals decision was (5 of 6 deciding in favor of DeSantis were Trump appointed judges), one good thing was they said those 85k have to be allowed to vote since the state didn't process their applications. One bad thing is they took the pressure off the state to create a system to tell them how much they owed, something the lower court put on them, so now the state has little obligation to help them become enfranchised.

And since Republicans have initiated a national campaign to decrease legal voter turnout, Florida won't go out of its way to help them.
