Maybe there's a more elegant solution, but I've done something similar using a workaround. See if it works for you and has the intended effect.

Set the text frame on your landscape page to two or three columns, and place 'dummy' footnotes in the text frame outside the table. You might want to add a manual column break and color the footnote numbers white to hide them. Having prepared this, you can use cross-references to the footnotes instead of using real table footnotes.

You might even leave away the built-in footnote functionality and use only cross-references.

JoH
