That is mostly correct, although this is not a true cycle, since you can find packages that are strictly optional depencies, i.e. not a hard requirement for anything.

I don't see any cycle here, qemu-deskyop needs qemu-base and that's it.
I think you meant that qemu-desktop is orphan.
EDIT: I am back on my pc so I can share a magic command to clean your orhpan packages (stares at electron) -> sudo pacman -Qdtq | sudo pacman -Rn -
