Not really. I identified this as a bug in alkimia and just fixed it:

    https://invent.kde.org/office/alkimia/-/commit/6f033d37

The problem only shows up if you Cancel out of the KMyMoney settings dialog.
The three local ones are actually remote ones, but due to the above
mentioned bug they are shown as local but do not contain any data.

The only way to fix this is opening the GHNS dialog via the install button,
uninstall the source and re-install it.  Seems you have done that.

Technical reason: they still have an entry in the index file

    ~/.local/share/knewstuff3/kmymoney-quotes.knsregistry

but the corresponding data file in

    ~/.local/share/kmymoney/quotes/

was removed as part of the cancel of the dialog. 

The fix mentioned above keeps the data file when canceling the dialog.
