Personally, I doubt it is anything to do with Laravel. I've not heard of any limits like this. Could be wrong though.
Have you tried make the col TEXT rather than LONGTEXT? TEXT can hold 4,294,967,295 or 4GB (According to the docs).
Have you tried running a raw SQL query with native PHP?
Yep, I eventually just went with raw SQL to get the data. Strange.
