This was an intentional change but there is a hidden way to get back to the prior behavior if you hate the new behavior:

Add `MoveMinimizedWindowsToEndOfTabBoxFocusChain=true` in the `[TabBox]` group
of the ~/.config/kwinrc file.

I believe with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/2496 this is now a UI option!
