Any idea how the Federal Court determined jurisdiction?

Isn't it the federal government's job to intervene when a state government is usurping the most fundamental rights of its own citizenry?

“We order the Legislature to fulfill its obligations under the Constitution of Nevada by raising sufficient revenues to fund education while maintaining a balanced budget,” Chief Justice Deborah Agosti wrote.

No, that is what your Remington 870 is for.

A federal court's jurisdiction must be based upon federal law. (excepting in a "diversity" case which doesn't apply here). Even aside from the (apparent) lack of a federal question, there isn't any basis I'm aware of for a court to enjoin a legislative body from even considering an issue.

Indeed it is:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government..."

[The Constitution of the United States of America, Art IV Sect 4]

What the Nevada judges have done is a clear and blatant coup d'etat against the republican government of the State of Nevada, and the general government - or, for that matter, the citizens of Nevada - are fully entitled to reverse it by legislation, by judicial intervention, or, if necessary, by the Sword.
