SUMMARY
Not sure which component this falls under, so apologies if this is wrong but; as per the title really due to a recent regression with the NVIDIA driver, I can't update it.

So I added locks to the packages via yast (verified with zypper ll) in the hopes of being able to still use discover to manage my updates easily.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Mark packages as protected in YaST that have updates
2.  Via either the plasma widget or the app, apply any update to a package
3.  The updates still apply

OBSERVED RESULT

No matter what I tried to upgrade, I was still being prompted to accept the NVIDIA licenses and the packages were still installed (thank god for snapper)

EXPECTED RESULT

The locks should have been respected and the updates should have continued without

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 20220703
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0
Qt Version: 5.15.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Applies to both the frontend and the plasma widget, so I assume the issue lies with one of the backends but I haven't used KDE since like KDE 4 so I'm not sure which it is
