Smelles Camera calibration issues to me.

If your computer is a bit old or hard disk a bit slow it will do this.
It first opens the original then applies the Lightroom settings.
Nothing to worry but maybe upgrade your hard drive / computer.

Calibration issues as well IMO.

I think we should blame this on Adobe, not on Pentax.

You may want to try (just for colours checking) the Pentax supplied software.
If there's no issue, I think things will be quite clear.
