Research direction
Start with the Red Hat installation page at https://docs.bazel.build/versions/5.0.0/install-redhat.html and reproduce the Fedora 35 commands shown in the issue. Compare the failing COPR command with the working repository URL, update the instructions so Fedora 35 users can install Bazel, and verify the revised commands against the documented repository.
