This gerrit 
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/125442
will solve the problem for old odt files

For newly created odt files, you can still reach the same layout, by setting:
Format -> Sections... -> Options... -> Footnotes/Endnotes ->
 Collect at end of text
+ inserting a page break, if needed

funny thing that Bug 138508 ask exactly the opposite of this ticket :)

Note:
LibreOffice never really supported multy-column footnotes. 
The footnotes can be at the end of its page, or at the end of its text column.
(MSWord support only the end-of-page footnotes, but can put them in multiple
columns regardless of how many columns there are on the page)

If a footnote is at the end of its column, then it is part of the column... 
and if "Collect at end of text" is not set, then it should look like the
footnote is at the end of the page... 
but if (page end not equal with column end) then it would be a logical
contradiction...
to avoid the contradiction someone (20+ years ago) forced these sections to
occupy the full page.. even if it had only 2 line of text.. that is Bug 54465

before my commit, footnotes in a column, was always put into its column end..
and every other case it was put into its page end.

Now you can 'choose' (with 'Collect at end of text') where to put the
footnote.. into its column, or into its page.
(beeing in a section and in an 'evenly distributed column' also a requirement
to put the footnotes into the page end.)
