digikam is updated in epel8-next , I'm doing a side-tag in epel8 .

This case brings one question , the packages of epel8-next will be
branch to epel8 ?
The way I see it is rhel 8.5 + epel 8 and centos stream 8 + epel 8 next
, rhel 8.6 is branched from centos stream 8 and epel 8 should also be
branched from epel 8 next . This implies that packages on epel 8 must
have lower versions than epel 8 next .

what I should do with digikam ?

The version in digikam epel8 and epel8-next are different. The reason is because of a package update (opencr) that is currently in CentOS Stream 8 that won't make it into RHEL 8 until RHEL 8.6.

For the epel8 version, just do a bump and build like you have the other packages on your list, keeping it's version the same.

I can do the epel8-next rebuild after you are done. And when RHEL 8.6 is released, I'll be bringing the higher version that is in epel8-next, over to epel8.
