I wasn’t able to replicate that bug on my Mac, but when I tried to do so I ran into an instance of another bug that has been annoying me for many years: windows that open far away on the screen from where I clicked. Here is where the color picker appeared on my screen after I clicked on the custom color button in the change wallpaper window:

That’s not a bug. The color picker always opens at the bottom left no matter which app opens it. Has always been like that.
Sounds a bit like “you’re holding it wrong” tbh.
I understand your point, once you have absorbed the Apple logic it is reinforced continually and makes sense. But opening a dialog near the use interaction point is a very reasonable expectation.
For me, I’ve never noticed any logic to it, I just know I need to hunt for it.
Colors is not just a dialog! It's a standalone application opening in a new window which you can open just like all other applications on macOS and also remembers the last opened place.
