It seems, that
\setupfloats[indentnext=yes]
has nothing to do with indenting of next paragraph.
What is the real meaning of this option?
  

indentnext=yes is indeed related to indentation. Search for threads "[NTG-context] Indentation bug ?" and "[NTG-context] Indentation bug ? Sample"...
\indentation is the solution (Thanks to David) or you can cheat by placing \placefigure or \placefloat before \section os \subsection... when they use page, top, bottom, auto or page...
