I think something changed in the code between 2017 when John’s solution was posted and now (ACF 5.8.5) – I had to edit the foreach loop to make this work without throwing an illegal offset error. Here’s my working code. It looks to see if someone is editing an ‘application’ custom post type – if they are not, it won’t show the ‘integration_logos’ layout.

add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_5d9e369133b92', 'remove_layouts', 99);
function remove_layouts($field) {
	if (!is_admin()) {
		// not on front end
		return $field;
	}

	// you need to check to see if it's where you want to remove the layout
	$current_screen = get_current_screen();
	if ('application' == $current_screen->post_type) {
		return $field;
	}
	
// move current layouts into a var
	$layouts = $field['layouts'];

	// clear layouts
	$field['layouts'] = array();
	
	// list of layouts you don't want to include
	$remove = array('integration_logos');

	foreach ($layouts as $k => $layout) {
		$name = $layout['name'];
		// check
		if (!in_array($name, $remove)) {
			$field['layouts'][ $layout['name'] ] = $layout;
		}
	} // end foreach
	return $field;
} // end function
