I take some photos from 3 different camera, all custom white balance, and open by Photoshop + ACR 12.3 or LR, front that ACR white balance (as shot) all different to camera setting.

already try uninstall ACR 12.3 and install 10、11 version, same issue.

 

test photos from Fujifilm X-T1、X-T100、DJI Mavic 2 Pro

these 4 photos from DJI Mavic, A mode, custom WB 4500k, 5000k, 5500k, 6000k and open with ACR

Totally to be expected, nothing to worry about. 

First keep in mind that any numeric value in Kelvin defines a pretty large range of possible colors. See illustration below where any color running from line e-f can be reported as 5000K.

Next, the numbers reported are based on the camera metadata, cameras will report this differently and are NOT the ideal tool to measure the color of light! So nothing to worry about in terms of the number. Ignore them, set WB visually as you desire.
