Oracle8 ULN 'dnf check-update' differs from 'dnf update'

I recently migrated a RedHat 8 system to Oracle Linux ULN and I'm seeing a discrepancy between "dnf update" and "dnf check-update" (see output below). The listed Perl modules are installed but the .noarch version which I would prefer to retain. Is there a reason why "dnf check-update" would show these modules?

I get the same thing for a clean install of Oracle Linux 8 (public repos).

I have tried the same things as suggested. I didn't try and disable the older module yet with dnf module disable.

Looking at the modules I get:

dnf module list perl

Last metadata expiration check: 1:40:34 ago on Sat 22 Aug 2020 07:00:51 PM PDT. Oracle Linux 8 Application Stream (x86_64) Name Stream Profiles Summary
perl 5.24 common [d], minimal Practical Extraction and Report Language
perl 5.26 [d][e] common [d], minimal Practical Extraction and Report Language

Trying to disable the 5.24 stream causes a pile of issues like:

dnf module disable perl:5.24

I hope that helps figure out the issue. Either that or I just do a -xperl-* when doing a dnf list updates.
