What are your interests in shooting? The 55-210mm is a nice short-range telephoto lens. If you want longer there is the 100-400mm.

Give the R50 is has an APS-C sensor the equivalent range of you RF24-105mm lens is 38-168mm.

That being said your two lenses cover the range from 18-168mm.

If you want to extend your range jrhoffman75 suggestion for the RF100-400 would round your bag out nicely. On the R50 the RF100-400mm would give you the equivalent range of 160-640mm. It's light weight, has very nice IQ and would give you a three lens range from 18-640mm. I believe this lens produces significantly better then it $750 US price point.
