I don't use RH based systems much so I failed to catch it earlier. From
your earlier post:

# yum list | grep postgres | grep perl
postgresql-plperl.x86_64 9.2.23-3.el7_4
base
postgresql10-plperl.x86_64 10.4-1PGDG.rhel7
pgdg10

http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumCommands

" yum list

By default 'yum list' without any options will list all packages in
all the repositories and all the packages installed on your system.
Note: 'yum list all' and 'yum list' give the same output.
"

So you where seeing packages in the repo's that where not installed yet
as well as any that where installed.

If I am following you need to use:

yum list installed

to see only installed packages.
