Managed Users and visibility of items not shared with them

I’m experimenting with the creation of Managed Users for family members. I created such a user and shared the albums of a few artists (using labels).

The problem is that items not shared with them appear in some circumstances.

For example, when logged as the managed user there’s always a “Sonically Similar Artists” line appearing in each artist page that looks like this (screenshot from Plex-web):

None of these sonically similar artists are shared with the user. Clicking on one of them leads to this:

And in Plexamp, the managed user is seeing this:

That Kate Bush album in the “On this day” section wasn’t shared with the managed user. Actually, nothing from Kate Bush was shared at all.

Is there a way to restrict what a managed user can see to what was shared with them in all circumstances? Because as it is right now, seeing items that weren’t shared can be very confusing.

Anyone? Did I make a configuration mistake? If I asked my family members to create a separate account instead of using the Managed User functionality, would they still see the same kind of thing?

Haven’t noticed this before but asking Plex about it.
