listTopics with kafka-clients-2.6.0 gives TimeoutException

I have a small code to check if a particular topic is already present in Kafka. It worked fine with kafka-clients-2.5.0. But after upgrading to kafka-clients to 2.6.0, it started giving TimeoutException.

This was my original code.

   Properties adminProperties = new Properties();
   adminProperties.put(ProducerConfig."bootstrap.servers", "localhost:9092");
   AdminClient adminClient = KafkaAdminClient.create(adminProperties);
   boolean topicExists = adminClient.listTopics().names().get().contains("myDataTopic");

For troubleshooting, I have splitted it and tried extending some timeout values like below. But no use. It works fine with 2.5.1 but not with 2.6.0.

        Properties adminProperties = new Properties();
        adminProperties.put(AdminClientConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG, "localhost:9092");
        adminProperties.put(AdminClientConfig.DEFAULT_API_TIMEOUT_MS_CONFIG, "900000");
        AdminClient adminClient = KafkaAdminClient.create(adminProperties);

        System.out.println("createKafkaTopic(): Listing Topics...");
        ListTopicsResult listTopicsResult = adminClient.listTopics(new ListTopicsOptions().timeoutMs(900000));
        System.out.println("createKafkaTopic(): Retrieve Topic names...");
        KafkaFuture<Collection<TopicListing>> setKafkaFuture = listTopicsResult.listings();
        System.out.println("createKafkaTopic(): Display existing Topics...");
        while(!setKafkaFuture.isDone()) {
            System.out.println("Waiting...");
            Thread.sleep(10);
        }
        Collection<TopicListing> topicNames = setKafkaFuture.get(900,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        System.out.println(topicNames);
        System.out.println("createKafkaTopic(): Check if Topic exists...");
        boolean topicExists = topicNames.contains("myDataTopic");

Here is my output:

I saw a similar issue here (How to display topics using Kafka Clients in Java?). But it seems resolved by adding some dependencies. I too tried adding all dependencies to my pom.xml, and no luck.
