MinValue/MaxValue are ignored when the value is null. When the popup is initially shown any time can be selected.
Run the attached project and select a new value from the drop down for RadTimePicker:

Workaround:
Timer t = new Timer();
private void RadTimePicker1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (radTimePicker1.Value == null) return;
var timeval = ((DateTime)radTimePicker1.Value).TimeOfDay;
if (timeval == TimeSpan.Zero)
{
t = new Timer();
t.Interval = 500;
t.Tick += T_Tick; t.Start();
}
}
private void T_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
t.Stop();
this.radTimePicker1.ValueChanged -= RadTimePicker1_ValueChanged;
this.radTimePicker1.Value = null;
this.radTimePicker1.ValueChanged += RadTimePicker1_ValueChanged;
}
Currently, RadTimePicker offers a Value property, typeof(DateTime?) even though the control is designed to manage time values.
With releasing .NET 6, there is TimeOnly type which would be more appropriate for managing time values:

For example:
//from 22:00 till 07:00 the next day.
this.radTimePicker1.MinValue = DateTime.Today.Date.AddHours(22);
this.radTimePicker1.MaxValue = DateTime.Today.Date.AddDays(1).AddHours(7);
