Okay… what am I doing wrong here?

It means there’s no package called ‘waydroid’ in the Rocky repos. They claim it’s in Fedora, so it’s worth checking in epel, but I don’t see it on Rocky 9.x
I’d be looking at waydroid - Fedora Packages. Notice that there are no epel releases, so it looks like it’s not available in EPEL. As mentioned above, it’s also not available in the Rocky repos, and a quick search didn’t turn up any COPRs that provide it, so you’d probably be stuck building it yourself. Note that it requires certain kernel modules that may not be available in the stock Rocky kernel, so you might need to install a third-party kernel as well.
