In Lock screen settings there is no way to disable "Show media controls". See attached images for more info.

Same here on Gentoo Linux (amd64 stable, details below).

This has happened before in Plasma 5.12. I'd say this is either a regression or never got fixed at all. See this bug and its comments for details:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=389483#c3

Good overview of the issue, related bugs and possible workaround:

Adding these lines to '~/.config/kscreenlockerrc' worked back then and still works:
[Greeter][LnF][General]
showMediaControls=false

Yeah you are right, I tried adding to kscreenlockerrc file the following lines :

[Greeter][LnF][General]
showMediaControls=false

and it seems for now it hides correctly the media controls.

humm, on my system an option to disable media controls is available if I click on "Configure..." button of Screen Locking KCM.

Sorry for not updating this report, after upgrading from 5.19 to 5.20 the media controls appear again, so it works perfectly for now on 5.20.2.
Comment 6 medin 2020-11-17 18:31:14 UTC 
When I disable the media controls and click apply the following settings 

[Greeter][LnF][General]
showMediaControls=false

are added to /home/med/.config/kscreenlockerrc
