I'm new to dnf, so this is probably obvious to someone.
I did check versionlock and checked for any exclude lines in any of the /etc/yum.repos.d files. But, when I have any other repos enabled, I cannot find mysql server to install. I can try to install it with all other repos disabled, but then it cannot find all the dependencies.
[root@ip-10-9-10-242 yum.repos.d]# dnf clean all
42 files removed
[root@ip-10-9-10-242 yum.repos.d]# dnf --disablerepo "*" --enablerepo "mysql56-community" list available

So, you can see some of the stuff in mysql56 repo is found (like bench) but the server isn't. I'd also previously done :
yum-config-manager --disable mysql80-community
yum-config-manager --enable mysql56-community
And can see :
[root@ip-10-9-10-242 yum.repos.d]# dnf repolist

For anyone still confused, what can't be found, can't be installed.

OK, so a bit of "-v" action and it says the packages are excluded. BUT I can disable all excludes and it still says they're excluded.
