The RPM database doesn’t track which repository a package was installed from,
that’s handled entirely by dnf.
DNF5 uses a different database for tracking package transactions than was used
by DNF4. When you updated dnf, it started using a different database, so it
doesn’t know about transactions in the old DNF4 database.
It would have been nice if there was a one-time migration that could move old
info to the new database, but there’s been quite a few schema changes, as well
as some pretty annoying bugs (see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2315665) so I don’t expect it to
ever happen.
