That works for me, I'm testing on kernel 6.2.15:

# echo "add fe4d7c9d-b8c6-4a70-9ef1-3d8a58d18eed A=1 B=abc" >
/sys/block/ram0/uevent

# udevadm monitor --kernel --env
monitor will print the received events for:
KERNEL - the kernel uevent

KERNEL[189.376386] add      /devices/virtual/block/ram0 (block)
ACTION=add
DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/block/ram0
SUBSYSTEM=block
SYNTH_UUID=fe4d7c9d-b8c6-4a70-9ef1-3d8a58d18eed
SYNTH_ARG_A=1
SYNTH_ARG_B=abc
DEVNAME=/dev/ram0
DEVTYPE=disk
