nginx usually does exactly what you tell it to. In this case...

...what folder is the file logo_right.png in?

Your config tells nginx to look for

/usr/local/nginx/html/phpMyAdmin/themes/original/img/logo_right.png

but your config also suggests that you wanted to tell nginx to look for

/usr/share/nginx/html/phpMyAdmin/themes/original/img/logo_right.png

Each (sub)request in nginx in handled by one location{} block, so you
must make sure that the correct config is in the location block that is
used for this specific request. Your location{} for .png urls uses the
compile-time document root value.

If this server is new, and not used for other files or services, then
the best change is probably to remove all "root" directives from your
nginx.conf, and add a single "root /usr/share/nginx/html;" outside all
location{}s, just after "server_name  localhost;"

Otherwise, you should probably add a "location /phpMyAdmin/ {}" which
contains other location{}s for the new urls you care about.

Note also that the distributed phpMyAdmin includes a few .htaccess files
to attempt to limit access to some files. There's nothing in your config
to mimic that, so unless you've taken other steps, you may be exposing
more that the phpMyAdmin developers consider wise.

Good luck with it,
