No, it wouldn't. The RPMs have dependencies, and by doing what you have
done here, those dependencies are not satisfied. At the very least you'll
need to unpack the -server RPM into the same directory (and have
libatomic, python3, postgresql-libs >= 11 and krb5-libs *properly*
installed), and even then I'm not 100% sure it'll work as the packaging was
neither designed or tested for manual unpacking and relocation.

If you follow the installation instructions on the website, it should work
just fine.
