I noticed that the shim-unsigned-x64 package is available in a newer version in the 8.8 CRB EUS repo than in the 8.10 CRB repo (base, since no EUS exists). This seems unexpected. For example, this means a system upgraded from an EUS version to 8.10 will have a different version of shim-unsigned-x64 installed than a system freshly installed on 8.10.
Small repro. Let's start with 8.8, add the CRB EUS and see what's available:
[nutanix@filer ~]$ docker run -it redhat/ubi8:8.8 [root@2a594c8deec2 /]# subscription-manager register Registering to: subscription.rhsm.redhat.com:443/subscription Username: <username> Password: <password> The system has been registered with ID: <foo> The registered system name is: <bar> [root@2a594c8deec2 /]# subscription-manager release --set=8.8 Release set to: 8.8 [root@2a594c8deec2 /]# subscription-manager repos --enable=codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-eus-rpms Repository 'codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-eus-rpms' is enabled for this system.

Now, let's see what happens on 8.10:
[root@2a594c8deec2 /]# subscription-manager release --set=8.10 Release set to: 8.10 [root@2a594c8deec2 /]# dnf install shim-unsigned-x64 Updating Subscription Management repositories.

Oh right, no EUS on 8.10. So let's switch to the base repo:
[root@2a594c8deec2 /]# subscription-manager repos --disable=codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-eus-rpms Repository 'codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-eus-rpms' is disabled for this system.

And now we're only offered an older version. The RHEL website confirms that 15.8-2 is only available in CRB EUS 8.8, but no other repo.
