In a properly functioning HE scheme, the party doing the evaluation cannot obtain information about the encrypted data, even if they do the operation incorrectly. Without further measures, they can of course compute an incorrect value, which depending on the larger protocol can sometimes be an issue (e.g. consider the scenario where after decryption the client shares the prediction with the server for some reason - in that case, if the server sends the original image ciphertexts, instead of predictions, they can trick the client into decrypting the original image). There is also always the risk that whoever is choosing the instantiation of the cryptoscheme knows something you don't and picks weak parameters, but that's just all the usual attack modes on cryptographic schemes.
