Thanks I saw that in an earlier comment, but it seems that 
plasma6-workspace requires it.

zypper search -s -i -x -v --requires-pkg iso-codes-lang

Reading installed packages...

S  | Name              | Type    | Version     | Arch   | Repository

i  | libKF5I18n5       | package | 5.115.0-1.3 | x86_64 | 
openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss (20240430)
     requires: iso-codes-lang
i  | libKF6I18n6       | package | 6.1.0-1.1   | x86_64 | 
openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss (20240430)

i+ | plasma6-workspace | package | 6.0.4-1.1   | x86_64 | 
openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss (20240430)
     requires: iso-codes-lang

Also trying to remove libKF5I18n5 wants to remove kde and kde_plasma 
patterns.

There is a libKF6I18n6 package which is installed so wondering why 
libKF5I18n5 would still be needed after updating to plasma 6 ?
