I noticed this also on Leap, when doing a "zypper up --no-recommends". have a customized install with a lot of patterns I deselected at install time. You can mark those packages as taboo (digiKam and Shofoto) and the problem should go away, but regardless, this should not happen. Tumbleweed does not exhibit the same behaviour, just fyi, with the same type of cherry-picked install. So maybe it's a bug in zypper or libsolv somewhere. From what I could tell on my test Leap install, the removal of libkexiv2-11 triggered the installation of all those unneccessary packages, except on my machine it was digiKam and a bunch of other dependencies which went along with it.
I dont understand this pattern-business yet. I remember patterns being talked about and printed on screen when installing a fresh opensuse or upgrade offline from the recent years. So are patterns maybe some kind of grouping meta-packages that tell my system that it wants digikam and other stuff, and even rpm -e digikam and other stuff then will bring them back again via zypper up because the higher metalevel grouping package tells that the system wants digikam? tabooing a noninstalled rpm (package) doesnt sound right to me if its not even installed. There must be some logic that makes the package flowing inbound again. And this logic needs to be removed or disabled. I dont have this digikam issue on all suse systems. Some other suse systems have other trouble with packages. So there must be some metainformation that makes the package coming in again even though it is not even installed to begin with and thus doesnt need any updates.
