Try, if disabling iCloud Photo Sharing in System Preferences > iCloud > Photos > Options will help.

After turning it off, restart the Mac and enable it again.

Also, check, if iCloud Photo Sharing is still enabled in Photos > Preferences > iCloud. The shared albums are only visible in one library. If you switched to a different Photos Library, that is not your System Photo Library, you will not be able to see the shared albums.
