Reproducing the bug:

[root@muflon-3 ~]# subscription-manager version
server type: This system is currently not registered.
subscription management server: 3.2.22-1
subscription management rules: 5.41
subscription-manager: 1.29.26-3.el9_0


printing communication between SUBMAN and the server:
[root@muflon-3 ~]# export SUBMAN_DEBUG_PRINT_REQUEST=1

mimicking hyperV environment:
[root@muflon-3 ~]# nano /etc/rhsm/facts/hyperv.facts

{
  "dmi.chassis.manufacturer": "microsoft",
  "virt.host_type": "hyperv",
  "virt.is_guest": true
}

checking if system will try to reach metadata server:
[root@muflon-3 ~]# subscription-manager facts
