It kind of depends on what you mean by "on iCloud Drive". I can open a folder that is synced with iCloud Drive and all of the images that are local to my device are displayed on the contact sheet. The files need to be local though, if they're not, Photo Mechanic won't download them, you'll have to click the cloud button in Finder for it to do that, and then refresh the Contact Sheet.

Photo Mechanic can only work with images and videos that are actually on your system's storage devices.  Images that are on the iCloud server are inaccessible to Photo Mechanic.  Photo Mechanic would have to download the files in order to work with them.
