Nope, I can recreate it (on latest).

Steps:

1. Set homepage to Categories via `top menu`
2. Change `desktop category page style` to be Categories with Featured Topics
3. Alter a sub-category to surpress it from homepage (for my screenshots I choose Meta)
4. Visit homepage to see topics still listed.
5. Wait a few hours, days, or manually rerun the sidekiq job to cache the Category info
6. Refresh the homepage, see that topics are still listed.

Homepage:

Category that has its surpress from homepage setting, set
