1) Well from here:

https://yum.postgresql.org/

"Platform Support

Supported:

     Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 Beta RHEL 10 is in beta. Do not use in 
production
     Red Hat Enterprise Linux / Rocky Linux / AlmaLinux 9
     Red Hat Enterprise Linux / Rocky Linux / AlmaLinux 8
     Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS / Scientific Linux 7 EOL announcement
     Fedora 41
     Fedora 40
"

So RH 6 should not be listed at all.

2) Postgres 12 is actually available on RH 6, just not 13+:

https://yum.postgresql.org/packages/#pg12

Though it is past EOL.
