That all seems to be true. After instrumentation, rebuilding and rebooting, in CAP_PERFMON case:

So it looks like CAP_PERFMON and CAP_SYS_ADMIN are not ever logged by AVC simultaneously,
in the current LSM and perfmon_capable() implementations.
If perfmon is granted:
perfmon is not logged by capabilities, perfmon is logged by AVC,
no check for sys_admin by perfmon_capable().
If perfmon is not granted but sys_admin is granted:
perfmon is not logged by capabilities, AVC logging is not called for perfmon,
sys_admin is not logged by capabilities, sys_admin is not logged by AVC, for some intended reason?
No caps are granted:
AVC logging is not called either for perfmon or for sys_admin.
BTW, is there a way to may be drop some AV cache so denials would appear in audit in the next AV access?
Well, I guess you have initially mentioned some case similar to this (note that ids are not the same but pids= are):
type=AVC msg=audit(1581580399.165:784): avc: denied { open } for pid=8859 comm="perf" scontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tcontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tclass=perf_event permissive=1
type=AVC msg=audit(1581580399.165:785): avc: denied { perfmon } for pid=8859 comm="perf" capability=38 scontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tcontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tclass=capability2 permissive=1
type=AVC msg=audit( . : ): avc: denied { sys_admin } for pid=8859 comm="perf" capability=21 scontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tcontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tclass=capability2 permissive=1
type=AVC msg=audit(1581580399.165:786): avc: denied { kernel } for pid=8859 comm="perf" scontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tcontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tclass=perf_event permissive=1
type=AVC msg=audit(1581580399.165:787): avc: denied { cpu } for pid=8859 comm="perf" scontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tcontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tclass=perf_event permissive=1
type=AVC msg=audit(1581580399.165:788): avc: denied { write } for pid=8859 comm="perf" scontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tcontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tclass=perf_event permissive=1
type=AVC msg=audit(1581580408.078:791): avc: denied { read } for pid=8859 comm="perf" scontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tcontext=user_u:user_r:user_t tclass=perf_event permissive=1
So the message could be like this:
"If audit logs for a process using perf_events related syscalls i.e. perf_event_open(), read(), write(),
ioctl(), mmap() contain denials both for CAP_PERFMON and CAP_SYS_ADMIN capabilities then providing the
process with CAP_PERFMON capability singly is the secure preferred approach to resolve access denials
to performance monitoring and observability operations."
