It's probably "scheduled" to be run, e.g. if you restarted the job,
until it gets allocated a "CI runner".  There is a limit on how many
jobs can be running at the same time.  You can also encounter it when
the whole pipeline is started - the build jobs wait for the container
images to be built first.

I see the fedora-33 container that I built locally has
qemu-storage-daemon-5.1.0, but fedora-34, which passes all tests, has
5.2.0.

Also I should've added "legally" here:
