Or how about teaching dnf that only certain repositories are allowed to
be used for updates (with an allowedlist for exceptions)? Then microsoft
or any other third party repo could put hello-5000-1 into their repo and
it could never compromise your system, as dnf would not consider the 3rd
party repo a valid update repo for a base system package.

That would require dnf to track where it got the package from though
and I am not sure if it does that at the moment?
