But Caucasoids came from Cro Magnons while Mongoloids might have come from a different hominid, some say, Peking Man, some say, Homo Florensiensis while others may refer to Homo Erectus.

No, Cro-Magnons were only located in Europe; the non-European Caucasoids were distinct from the Cro-Magnon. Mongoloids and Caucasoids were one group of people. The Caucasoid-Mongoloid split happened something like 35,000-50,000 years ago. Before that, there were no Mongoloids or Caucasoids.
The Mongoloids moved from Central Asia into North Asia, while the Caucasoids moved into Europe from the Anatolian peninsula and Central Asia. The Europeans evolved into Cro-Magnons, before mating with the Neanderthals.
There may be some Denisovan admixture in Mongoloid populations, in the same way that there is Neanderthal admixture in most non-Africans.
