They should only become waterlogged when placed inside a water source block. To reproduce:
1. Dig a 1x1 two deep hole
2. Place a water source block on the top air block
3. Place a coral on the bottom
4. Remove the water source block from the top

Can't seem to reproduce this with sea pickles in 21w06a. Are there any other blocks that this works with?
Code Analysis:
The reason for this happening is due to the returned blockstate in the getStateForPlacement() method for kelp, coral plant/fan, and seagrass. All of these blocks add an additional check at the end of the return value "&& fluidState.getAmount() == 8" which checks to see if the blockstate occupying where the player is clicking is a level 8 (so it does not check for a "source block", but rather just level 8).
@Override
@Nullable
public BlockState getStateForPlacement(BlockPlaceContext blockPlaceContext) {
FluidState fluidState = blockPlaceContext.getLevel().getFluidState(blockPlaceContext.getClickedPos());
return (BlockState)this.defaultBlockState().setValue(WATERLOGGED, fluidState.is(FluidTags.WATER) && fluidState.getAmount() == 8);
}
Isnt that because the new water flow algorithm
