The source rpm does not contain any binaries you can use. it puts the
yum source code in /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES by default, so that you can
build the rpm for it. If you have build tools installed, you can cd to
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS and 'rpmbuild -ba yum.spec" and it should build.
If not, you may want to look at fedoralegacy for redhat9 updates.
Also, redhat 9 is deprecated, if you can, you should really consider
upgrading to fedora, RHEL, or CentOS. Those will be similar to what
you're used to with redhat 9.
