No you didn't, at least not properly.

As your error message clearly shows:

That means that you have the old libKF5Declarative5 5.32.0 package from the 
standard 42.3 repos that is compiled with (and requires) Qt 5.6.2, and *not* 
the latest one from KDE:Frameworks5.

Actually you need to have told YaST/zypper to ignore dependencies ("break 
XXX...") to end up with this error message, as the package does require Qt = 
5.6.2 on a package level.

So do an explicit switch again.
And in case you get a conflict, better ask for further help.

GTK applications usually don't use Qt or KDE libraries...
