SUMMARY
It's impossible to install plasma-discover-backend-fwupd because it requires Discover version 5.18.5, but KDE Neon is currently on 5.20.5

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Be on the latest version of KDE Neon
2. Run sudo apt install plasma-discover-backend-fwupd

OBSERVED RESULT
Package cannot be installed because it has a strict dependency on Discover version 5.18.5

EXPECTED RESULT

This is still unsolved and I am having problems updating my firmware with Discover, any chance someone can look into this?

Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
