Just wondering if this happens down south.
Currently I can only bet the early pick 5 at Santa Anita, The late pick 5 is not available to us.
I spoke to HPI and they told me that the take out rate is higher on the late pick 5 than the early pick 5. Is this true? Why would it be different?

Yes - the early pick 5 is lower takeout (14%) than the late pick 5 (23.7%). The lower takeout on the early has been marketed as the "Players' Pick 5". I don't know of any situation where there are limitations for US based wagerers as you describe here.
In fact I was surprised to find out that you COULD bet the early and NOT the late (given the different takeouts), since HPI has a habit of charging more takeout on US wagers where it is not enough to meet whatever regulatory standard they have in place, as noted in an older thread:
