This is not surprising as you created an impossible problem and tried to
find a solution for that.

Yeah, because it is a repo *RPM*.

I believe you messed up everything badly. Both that site and
https://yum.postgresql.org/howto/ has the same instructions:

sudo dnf install -y https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-9-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf install postgresql16-server

This is all you need to do. What went wrong on your case?
