Cause
In the 'Company System And Logo Settings' tool, there is a setting ("Disable filter for custom fields of type Foundation Object") which disables the filtering of custom fields tied to FO objects, and this may be enabled in the environment:
Resolution
Go to the "Company System And Logo Settings" tool and disable/uncheck the "Disable filter to custom fields of type Foundation Object. To activate this setting, upload any data model in provisioning." setting, then save the change.
After the setting has been disabled, please log into Provisioning and re-import any data model to activate the filtering.
