I could try to export once and then close the original file. Then open it again and do the second export.
But if it works, I might go really crazy
Well could you try with this very simple file? the result is weird (93% ) and apparent

If your image is open in Gimp (or Krita) no need to close and reopen. Using Cyan export as different formats without closing Cyan.

I still do not understand your "change" value but it does not matter.
Using your image Shoes-sRGB.jpg and a converted from Gimp cyan shoes-cmyk.jpg I compare the out-of-gamut colours. Out-of-gamut are colours that cannot be printed using cmyk inks That is why you get a duller, less vivid print than looking at the image on your computer monitor.
It is easiest to show this using Krita, you can use Gimp but the settings are scattered about.

The shoes-cmyk.jpg is much larger, 2.4 MB , so here it is on my storage

so bottom line, still no solution to your question, whatever you use going from RGB to CMYK will introduce changes to the colours.
