The Hejaz was ruled by the sharifs of Mecca, not the Mamluks. You could well argue that their relationship should be as a subject though.
In reality the sharifs would mostly go along with whoever controlled Egypt as that's where they a substantial part of the food needed to support themselves from.
On most maps on the net you'll see them drawn as mamluk, just as the one in the op, which is probably an ok simplification for most purposes.
