I had similar behaviour when testing KDE 6, so it’s not just a Gnome/GTK/Libadwaita/I hate that entire project issue.
I solved it by downloading a custom cursor theme, putting it in ~/.local/share/icons and then giving each Flatpak app access to that directory (for some reason, on KDE, they didn’t by default).
You may need to log-out log-in to see the changes.
