I think that's because you need to add --available to the
list subcommand to not include all the installed packages.
Per dnf5-list(8):

   --installed
	  List only installed packages.

   --available
	  List only available packages.

In a Fedora 42 container:

    # check the package count from rpm, for comparison with
    # dnf list --installed
    $ rpm -qa | grep -v ^gpg-pubkey | wc -l
    123

    $ dnf -qq list --installed | tail -n+2 | wc -l
    123

    $ dnf -qq --repo=fedora-cisco-openh264 list --installed | tail -n+2 | wc -l
    123

    $ dnf -qq --repo=fedora-cisco-openh264 list --available | tail -n+2 | wc -l
    3

    $ dnf -qq --repo=fedora-cisco-openh264 list --available 
    Available packages
    mozilla-openh264.x86_64 2.4.1-2.fc42 fedora-cisco-openh264
    openh264.x86_64         2.4.1-2.fc42 fedora-cisco-openh264
    openh264-devel.x86_64   2.4.1-2.fc42 fedora-cisco-openh264

I think it's a buglet that even with -qq the 'Installed
packages' and 'Available packages' headers are printed.  But
that's just another tangent.
