Connect with Remmina from another system.
SELinux is preventing sshd-session from 'name_connect' accesses on the tcp_socket port 5900.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that sshd-session should be allowed name_connect access on the port 5900 tcp_socket by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'sshd-session' --raw | audit2allow -M my-sshdsession
# semodule -X 300 -i my-sshdsession.pp
