Shouldn't this work if the collection is in a cloud folder like
Nextcloud (or Dropbox, FWIW)?

If you make changes to photo or an album (i.e. just the file or photo)
on one machine then the changes are synchronized to all machines that
share these folders, and if you start DK next time it will detect the
changes and update the local database accordingly.

But of course this is only going to work if you write tags and other
metadata to the image file or a sidecar file.

If you have configured DK to *not* write metadata (tags etc.) to the
files but keep them only in the DB you'd have to synchronize the
database in a consistent way, which can be much harder.
