Parodia (Notocactus) herteri has those type of flowers, but at the moment not sure the plant looks like N. herteri. Maybe that is simply because it is young and densely spined though? Are you sure those are the flowers for that plant?

Notocactus roseoluteus has similar flowers but with a yellow centre

Bit off a puzzle to me at the moment, so post a picture when it flowers, unless somebody else knows what it is?

Reseoluteus and rutilans first came to mind, but the flower form seems like neither.
Come to think of it. It looks a bit suspecious like you said. The picture of the flowers did not show the whole cacti.
Thank you anyway.
