I was able to recreate the issue, following the steps in the BZ (see output below). However, I don’t know if it’s a RHUi issue or possibly a problem with the package NetworkManager-cloud-setup-1:1.36.0-7.el8_6.aarch64, itself or the RHUI client on that image or an entitlement issue. I've emailed RHUI engineering asking for their assistance.

Please try again.
This is a Red Hat content issue. Red Hat RHUI ops has implemented a workaround in production and confirmed it resolves our reproducer. Please test the fix on the AWS side, @peninm

Just tried it and still getting the same issue in us-west-2
Right. The CDN repodata issue with RHEL 8 for ARM64 AppStream has been worked around in us-east-1, so VMs in the (AFAICT) most exposed region can continue to receive updates. Rather than working around the issue in all regions on the RHUI level, we aim to resolve the upstream issue ASAP.
OK, the repo is now up to date in all regions. Please try one more time.
Just tested it in several different regions and it was working. I'll keep checking the other regions, but looks like the update worked.
