That sounds like it's related to what the program is focusing on. Resolve interprets inputs differently depending on which things on screen you're currently manipulating, so if you have a clip selected, it's trying to do whatever action the arrow keys refer to to the clip. In this case, I'm assuming that the arrow keys don't map to any actions at the clip level, but on the playhead/timeline level, the arrow keys map to moving the playhead by one frame. This is similar to how in the Fusion page, the arrow keys will nudge a node's position if the node is selected (if that node has an xy center), but if no node is selected, the arrows will move the playhead by one frame as well.
I know this isn't a solution, but hopefully it makes sense. I'm not sure if there's a way to determine if there's a move playhead action that can be mapped to the arrow keys for that context; it seems unlikely, but not impossible. I'd be at a loss to figure out what to search for in the keyboard shortcut options though.
