Looks like the latest version on RHEL is 5.26.4, but the deployment center says 2025.02 has been out since February?
How to I upgrade via the package managers on RHEL to 2025.02?
You probably still have yum configured to use the version 5 release track.
You can check this by running cat /etc/yum.repos.d/neo4j.repo.
If baseurl is set to https://yum.neo4j.com/stable/5 then it needs changing to https://yum.neo4j.com/stable/latest to be able to supply the new calendar versioned Neo4js.
The relevant documentation page is here:
with a /etc/yum.repos.d/neo4j.repo defined as
rpm --import https://debian.neo4j.com/neotechnology.gpg.key
cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/neo4j.repo
[neo4j]
name=Neo4j RPM Repository
baseurl=https://yum.neo4j.com/stable/latest
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
EOF
and this is described at Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora, and Amazon Linux (.rpm) - Operations Manual
I am not able to reproduce as evidenc

and for 5.26.4 and also changing to /etc/yum.repos.d/neo4j.repo and per the specs defined at Red Hat, CentOS, Fedora, and Amazon Linux (.rpm) - Operations Manual and such that the baseurl is defined as baseurl=https://yum.neo4j.com/stable/5

and so.. as @jenny.owen suggest this is probably a failure on your end due to a misconfigured /etc/yum.repos.d/neo4j.repo
Thanks for the help! It was indeed an issue with the repo. I used Azure's ARM template that only goes up to version 5 so the version 5 repo was installed.
I followed the steps you suggested (had to uninstall java 17 too!) but everything works as expected. Thank you for your help!
