Programmatically create field group on options page

I have trouble programmatically creating field group for specific options page.
I have created options page with code and this works ok. Then I went to create field group by clicking options and I have placed a repeater field with image for that options page.
This worked ok, so I went to Tools, selected the field group I just created and clicked “Generate export code”. The code I got I placed inside register_acf_fields function I am showing you, then I have commented out this code and deleted previously created field group. But when I remove comments so that I can check if this class works, I got nothing but options page is showing all right.
What did I do wrong? It doesn’t work with add_action(‘acf/init’…

class mypictures {

    public function __construct()   {
        add_action('init', array( $this, 'register_logo_options_page'));
        add_action('init', array( $this, 'register_acf_fields'));
    }

    public function register_logo_options_page()    {

        if( function_exists('acf_add_options_page') ) {

            $option_page = acf_add_options_page(array(
                'page_title'    => 'Pictures',
                'menu_title'    => 'Pictures',
                'menu_slug'     => 'mypictures',
                'capability'    => 'edit_posts',
                'redirect'  => false
                ));

        }

    }

    public function register_acf_fields ()  {
/*      var_dump('asdf');
        die();*/

        if( function_exists('acf_add_local_field_group') ):

            acf_add_local_field_group(array (
                'key' => 'group_582d62b7af067',

The value for the location rule should be the slug of the options page ‘mypictures` in this case.
