Indeed? DNF manual documents "list" subcommand differently:

      dnf [options] list [--all] [<package-file-spec>...]
              Lists all packages, present in the RPMDB, in a repository or
both.

>  If I "list available ..." then it shows No matching

Didn't you mean "--available"?

      dnf [options] list --available [<package-file-spec>...]
              Lists available packages.

It sounds like you have some another DNF thane me. Does the DNF queries work
for you for another packages?

That means the repository you downloaded to your system contains the package.

Package exclusion can be defined in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf with exclude keyword and
that at each repository definition under /etc/yum.repos.d/.

I'm going to move your bug report to DNF component. It would be great if you
provided details about your system like a version of RHEL, and dnf and libdnf
packages.
