Steps to reproduce the issue
- Make a layout override on category (com_content/category).
- Choose that override on any existing category (ex. TestCategory).
- Make a menu item and choose Article - Category List
- Choose to show the category with the override (ex. TestCategory).
Expected result
When visiting the menu item, it should show the category with the layout override we chose earlier.
Actual result
When visiting the menu item, it shows the default category layout.
System information (as much as possible)

Okay but in the menu item Article - Category List we still can't choose a category layout override, It shows article layout override instead, which is kind of confusing..

As it all about your Template and not Joomla core, I close this for now. https://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=1006385
Menu wins over category or article definition, if you link the parent category the subcategory will take its own layout.
