AFAICS, the footnote is self explanatory. "To remedy this fADC should be reduced". The larger the capacitance, larger the acquisition time, or in other words time taken to charge that capacitor. To maintain the nyquist sampling rate, you need to reduce the sampling frequency, eventually affecting bandwidth, as you guessed.
