There are two Macs I personally use which are permanently on my office enet/wifi LAN, a '12 Mac Mini and an '09 Mac Pro 5,1. I just set up a new Macbook Pro and during setup it asked if I wanted to set up an iCloud account, which I did. I use the same admin password for all of them (but they are named differently) and entered it for the new Macbook Pro. I use my original iCloud account for all of them. When it booted, I saw the desktop contents of the Mac Mini. Apparently the IP address of my office router is what iCloud is seeing (?).

I have another LAN at home, also with a Mac Pro '09 and I will be using the new Macbook Pro on this LAN as well.

How do I fix this problem and prevent it from happening at home?
