Hi Giovanni,
I’ve just tried in a docker container and cannot reproduce this issue. The cvmfs-release package installs two files:
/etc/yum.repos.d/cernvm.repo
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CernVM
Can you check that both are present? And could you post the output of yum repolist?
For reference, this is what it looks like for me:
[root@cvm-test-14 ~]# docker run -it almalinux:9
Emulate Docker CLI using podman. Create /etc/containers/nodocker to quiet msg.
Resolved "almalinux" as an alias (/etc/containers/registries.conf.d/000-shortnames.conf)

Turns out that this particular machine (i.e. puppet deployed) has a custom setup for package repositories; refer to GitHub - voxpupuli/puppet-cvmfs: Puppet module for cvmfs for more information.
Thanks @vavolkl got the help!
