This is due to koji tag inheritence.  It should arguably stop doing that
during a freeze...

F11 Updates doesn't do inheritence to rawhide, since all of those are in
'pending' state.

However, if you would like those new packages in rawhide instead of via
updates you can file a ticket with rel-eng to get them included in
dist-f11.

No, you did nothing wrong.  In fact, you highlighted a pretty good issue
that we need to look at.  Yay!
