Interesting to see the Equivalence. As a first thing, I tried:

semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/mysql.old /var/lib/mysql
then
restorecon -R /var/lib/mysql


# semanage fcontext -lC
SELinux fcontext                                   type
Context

/home/users(/.*)?                                  all files
system_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0
/var/lib/mysql                                     all files
system_u:object_r:mysqld_db_t:s0
/var/lib/mysql(/.*)?                               all files
system_u:object_r:mysqld_db_t:s0

SELinux Local fcontext Equivalence

./mysql = ./mysql.old
/var/lib/mysql = /var/lib/mysql.old
mysql = ./mysql.old
