Is this on X11 or Wayland?

What Plasma version are you using?

Are you experiencing this in the Overview effect, or the Desktop Grid effect, or both of them?

I am using wayland.  On neon unstable. Trying out new plasma 6.1 beta.
The issue is seen both on overview effect and desktop grid effect.

Thanks, can reproduce. I think this may be intended that the child dialogs follow the main window when it moved to a different virtual desktop. It's certainly rather odd for a window's child dialog windows to be moved to a different virtual desktop from their parent window!
