Conky windows always on top on plasma

I have a strange behaviour for conky windows display with plasma as desktop environment.
When using " own_window_type=override " the window stays always on top of any other window, even if is a fullscreen window). Before the latest plasma update, I could fix it by open the conky config file and save it when running. This causes window reload and fix the issue. But after the latest update(some days ago) even this doesn't work any more.
If I use "normal" as window type behaves correct but the conky windows with this setting appear in task manager, which I don't want. Using "desktop" as window type I loose transparency.
This doesn't happen on other desktop environments I tried(cinnamon, xfce4, i3).
So, does anybody know a way to fix this issue, or at least to hide the conky windows from taskbar when use "normal" as window type?

EDIT:
Here are the conky windows settings(in case something else there triggers this issue in plasma):

    xinerama_head = 2,
    alignment = 'bottom_left', 
	background = true,
	border_width = 1,
	cpu_avg_samples = 2,
	default_color = 'white',
	default_outline_color = 'white',
	default_shade_color = 'black',
	draw_borders = false,
	draw_graph_borders = true,
	draw_outline = false,
	draw_shades = true,
	use_xft = true,
	font = 'Arial:size=12',
	xftalpha = .8,
	gap_x = 1550,
	gap_y = 180,
	minimum_width = 740,
	maximum_width = 740,
	maximum_height = 700,
	double_buffer = true,
	net_avg_samples = 2,
	no_buffers = true,
	text_buffer_size = 2048,
	imlib_cache_size = 0,
	out_to_console = false,
	out_to_stderr = false,
	extra_newline = false,
	own_window = true,
	own_window_class = 'conky-hdmon',
	own_window_type = 'override',
	own_window_hints = 'undecorated,sticky,below',
	stippled_borders = 0,
	update_interval = 1.0,
	uppercase = false,
	use_spacer = 'none',
	show_graph_scale = false,
	show_graph_range = false,
--own_window_transparent yes
	own_window_argb_visual = true,
	own_window_argb_value = 170,
	own_window_colour = '#000000',
	color0 = '#d9ffd6',
};

those settings are the same(except width/height) for all 3 conkys I use.
