Working on an Artificer/wizard character and I found something quite interesting. It concerns the Graviturgy wizard and the Artillerist’s Eldritch Cannon.
Gravity well states: [...]: whenever you cast a spell on a creature, you can move the target 5 feet[...]
Eldritch Cannon states: [...]On each of your turns, you can take a bonus action to cause the cannon to activate.
the keyword being YOU cast a spell; now Force Ballista states: Make a ranged spell attack, originating from the cannon, at one creature or object within 120 feet of it.[...]

Therefore, YOU are technically casting the spell and the ballista could push the target?
I'd say no, as the Force Ballista is not casting a spell, it is only making a ranged spell attack.
That is not necessarily the same, and in this case the Eldritch Cannon is just a magical object, you can use for a magical attack.
Similar situation: Magic Stone, you cast the spell, creating 3 stones. Throwing these stones later on is a ranged spell attack but not casting a spell on the target.
Trying to get your physical content on Beyond is like going to Microsoft and saying "I have a physical Playstation disk, give me a digital Xbox version!"

Eldritch Cannons are not Spells, so no.
There is a difference between being a spell, being a ranged spell attack, and being a ranged melee attack. Eldritch cannons are the middle category.
