This bug also applies to both Debian stable (bookworm) and testing (trixie), as
well as the current Kubuntu Neon LTS  at this time. 

In the past this bug has been fixed by disabling File Search & indexing in
systemsettings5/File Search but that no longer works. Nor does 'balooctl
disable' and rebooting help. Increasing the size of "Skip previews for remote
files above" to some very high number in the Dolphin/Configure/General/Previews
tab also doesn't help. I've tried installing several thumbnailer packages, e.g.
kdegraphics-thumbnailers, and related KDE packages, but none of them seem to
help. konqueror (which was the best file manager ever IMO back in KDE 3.x days)
behaves the same way as dolphin.

I can go to the Context Menu tab of dolphin/Configure, click on Download New
Services, search for 'mediainfo' and install the Mediainfo Service Menu
(https://store.kde.org/p/1418250). This enables me to right-click on a file on
a LAN and choose mediainfo to get the metadata from images & multimedia files,
but this is somewhat cumbersome, and seeing metadata on the dolphin
Properties/Details tab, F11 Information field or the dolphin file preview on
LAN shares used to work fine (sometimes with a little tweaking to baloo) a few
years ago.
