Yes. You're mixing stable and unstable packages, I'm sure you can figure it out. Otherwise, forums are a better place to help sort out your keywords mix. Make up your mind if you want to have stable or unstable kde-apps/*.
Sorry for my miss understanding of the release change. Before I had never any problem to be keyword unmasked (necessary for other software dependencies). So I suppose that a big change will come there. I'll remain in stable for now.
It is perfectly fine to e.g. use KDE Frameworks 5.63, but your problem seems to come from a partial kde-apps/ unmask. That must be fixed.
