Yes and no...

Yes, Red Hat makes money from Oracle.

and

No, you should expect something from Red Hat but not direct
marketing support.  Red Hat markets its own database
distribution, Red Hat Database, which is powered by PostgreSQL.
This fact is clearly stated on all RHDB marketing literature.
What you should expect is that modifications made to PostgreSQL
proper to support the direction of RHDB be made available to the
community (a current example being SQL schemas).
