It looks like there are two versions of KUbuntu released at any given time: One is a LTS (long term support) release which is supposed to be more stable, and another is their more cutting-edge version with newer versions of things.  I'm using the one that has the newer versions (currently, 25.10).

Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, so I believe it uses the same repositories of software.  And Linux Mint probably uses the ones that Ubuntu LTS uses, so IMO it's no surprise that it has the older version of KDE.  I believe the current KUbuntu LTS version also has KDE 5.x (according to their web site).
