The KDE stack needs to be rebuilt against the new Qt 5.15.3 shipped
with RHEL 8.7. I'm pretty sure Troy is on the case for that. But if
you need to work around it, you can install epel-next-release and use
its repos to upgrade properly for now.

Please don't use the epel-next release repo.
Will it work? yes.  Will it confuse things?  yes
Please do the following for a week.

  dnf --exclude=qt5* update

RHEL 8.7 came out this week.  It has an updated qt5-qtbase.
As Neal said, this means that KDE had to be rebuilt.
I am also taking this opportunity to update KDE, not to the latest, but to the latest that RHEL 8 libraries will allow me to.

I expect the update to be in epel-testing tomorrow.
I currently have about 350 packages rebuilt, 10 to go.
