Additional info:
Comment 1 Panu Matilainen 2022-04-01 13:21:33 UTC 
This is unlikely to be a dnf issue, the error takes place on rpm level but this is unlikely to be an rpm issue either as it hasn't changed at all recently. More likely something in the selinux side of things, but it needs to be tracked somewhere.

What does 'rpm -q libselinux selinux-policy' say on that system?
Comment 2 Panu Matilainen 2022-04-01 13:23:46 UTC 
Actually, make that 'rpm -q libselinux selinux-policy container-selinux'
Comment 3 Jan 2022-04-01 17:51:19 UTC 
rpm -q libselinux selinux-policy container-selinux

libselinux-3.3-4.fc36.x86_64
libselinux-3.3-4.fc36.i686
selinux-policy-36.5-1.fc36.noarch
container-selinux-2.181.0-1.fc36.noarch
Comment 4 Jan 2022-04-02 07:36:51 UTC 
Might have something to do with older version of files.

Fixed with:

semodule -X 200 -r snappy -r container  -X 300 -r my-chown -X 400 -r my-chown -r my-systemctl
dnf reinstall -y container-selinux
