Vinícius,
The typical method of controlling the package versions that get installed
is by carefully constructing the pkgdir and otherpkgdir
directories
so that only the package versions you want to be installed will be found
whenever dnf runs.
I'm curious if the problem you are experiencing is due to the updated
redhat-release package being found in one of the repositories
you have created in your pkgdir/otherpkgdir or if it is being found in some
other repository.
Is rhels8.5.0-x86_64-2 a repo you intentionally created or is it being
picked up unintentionally?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [xcat-user] Versionlock a given package in stateless
compute
Hello,
I would like to know if there’s a way to versionlock a give package in a
stateless compute environment.
Specifically I would like to fix the redhat-release package version. I
tried adding the pinned versions to a pkglist file and running genimage but
that was a no go. It just ignored the older packages and installed the
newest ones.
[root@headnode compute]# lsdef -t osimage rhels8.5.0-x86_64-netboot-compute
-i pkglist
Object name: rhels8.5.0-x86_64-netboot-compute
pkglist=/opt/xcat/share/xcat/netboot/rh/compute.rhels8.x86_64.pkglist,/install/custom/netboot/compute.pkglist
cat /install/custom/netboot/compute.pkglist

redhat-release-8.4
During the genimage process it downloaded and installed the correct
package, but it was updated later on:
