My guess is that the freeworld version has not been rebuilt with the
new programs. It will probably be rebuilt at some point. Or you could
mention the issue on the rpmfusion users list, join at
rpmfusion.org.
But, if you aren't using any of those programs, the messages are
harmless. Is your system working to do what you want? Then your
better option is to just wait.
I just remembered a thread in the devel list. I think gt5-qtwebengine
is deprecated, being eventually replaced with qt6-qtwebengine. But not
yet, so I suggest you don't remove it.

Well, Qt does pretty much exactly that, *but* the problem is, Qt 5 is
in LTS "very strict" mode by now, i.e., in maintenance mode. From the
point of view of Qt, applications are not supposed to use it anymore.
The Qt 6 QtWebEngine has been rebased several times since. The problem
is that the KDE ecosystem cannot move on to Qt 6 as fast as Qt upstream
would like it to. In part due to Qt itself (e.g., QtWebEngine was not
included at all in 6.0 and 6.1!), in part due to the KDE Frameworks
(which are being ported to Qt 6 right now, they were blocked due to the
aforementioned missing features in Qt 6 itself). So we are stuck on the
legacy branch.
Maybe an unofficial backport of QtWebEngine 6.2 LTS, QtWebEngine 6.4,
and/or the upcoming QtWebEngine 6.5 LTS to Qt 5 would help close the
gap. But someone would have to do the work (and hope not to get sued by
Qt over trademarks).
