I'm not aware of any way to change where the thumbnail is pulled from. I think it's always just the first frame.
That said, I'm not seeing what you're reporting here. Adding a cut at a scene change and then a Dissolve, the Color page shows me the first frame of where the cut it, not any part of the previous clip from the Dissolve.
However, testing was not done using an EDL or any conforming, just imported clips.

You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.
