It’s a pretty common issue right now. Afaik you either need to uninstall the packages that require the old versions or wait.

how do we uninstall? It won't let me uninstall them
bright dawn
pacman -Rns to uninstall a package
They might have dependencies too though
I would just wait
glacial holly

if they have dependencies, you can use -Rc but that's a bit dangerous, make sure you read what you're uninstalling

It's not KDE, it's how arch maintainers will package kde plasma5 from now and on
ashen terrace
pretty sure the plasma group and plasma-meta package are both maintained by kde members but I might be wrong

it still hasn't been fixed by whoever is maintaining the packages, should I do something else to fix the issue cause I've gone a while without updates?

if you're okay with what it's uninstalling, go for it
I think you can also exclude packages with pacman and paru
