after giving this another look, it turns out that package was being installed from the Rocky Linux 8 appstream repo. I modified the copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:group_theforeman:leapp repo file with priority=50 and with that I was able to get the correct packages installed. Another thing I ran into after running leapp upgrade --no-rhsm was that it errored out complaining about the rocky-logos package so had to remove that with dnf remove rocky-logos and reran the upgrade. Worked perfectly afterwards.
