Comment:

 Hi @BackuPs, thanks for the ticket!

 > Looking into general-template.php i can see that the previous and next
 do not take into account for excluded categories. There is also no filter
 to add excluded categories into the arguments passed to the query.

 That's right, the calendar should be switched over to user `get_posts()`
 instead of custom SQL queries.

 We're already tracking this issue in #29319.
