I'm guessing(because I don't use RH and variants) that the below is 
related to:

https://yum.postgresql.org/news/rocky-9-8-llvm-repo-is-available/

In particular this part:

"Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux, which lags slightly behind RHEL, is also 
significantly affected by this breakage, blocking PostgreSQL minor 
updates. This is the problem that needs to be solved."

Hopefully, someone who is more knowledge about this can confirm.
