Yes, it sounds like the issue is related to Edge’s handling of PDF files despite your settings. When "Always download PDF files" is checked, Edge should download PDFs rather than opening them. However, if Edge is set as the default PDF reader, it may override this setting and open PDFs automatically. Make sure Edge is not set as the default PDF viewer on your devices if you want PDFs to open with your configured software.
