The advice from this Reddit post worked for me:

https://www.reddit.com/r/kdeneon/comments/yeuvj5/how_do_i_hide_the_upgrade_notification/

According to them, you've got two choices. I went with the second one
and it's working for me in Kubuntu. I no longer get told about the
upgrade, but still get notifications for updates:

Configure the system tray to hide the notification.

...or...

Prevent the update-manager from checking for upgrades:
1. Edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades as root.
2. Change Prompt=lts to Prompt=never in the last line of the file.
3. Save the change.
