No it seems Adobe are making an attempt at KDE integration but they haven't
set up the desktop files correctly. I don't know exactly how they are laid
out but i imagine the X-KDE-System-Settings-Parent-Category in
/usr/share/kde4/services/kcm_adobe_flash_player.desktop is unknown which is
why it is appearing in Lost and Found. Most of the other categories in other
kcmcontrol modules seem to have a specific file to describe the category
(see the settings-*.desktop files in the same directory). Either way this
seems to be a problem with Adobe's upstream proprietry rpms so you are best
reporting it there since Fedora can't do anything about them.
