netavark and nftables did not return a successful result on Fedora Remix for WSL but works in Podman Desktop

# **Describe the bug**
> A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I am trying to run a `docker-compose.yaml` with a single service for testing. However, when ran with **Fedora Remix for WSL** v41 with latest Podman and Podman-Compose, I get an error that netavark cannot get a successful return code from nftables (Net Filter Tables).

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Given a directory with a `docker-compose.yaml` file, execute `podman compose up`
2. Wait for podman to pull the postgres image.
3. Wait for postgres to initalize,
4. Emit error.

please use [minimal reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example) for example give me a small busybox-based compose yaml

# **Expected behavior**
> A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Podman Compose start the Services / Containers and initalize the database.

This works with regular Podman, and when I use Podman Desktop's `podman compose` on Windows using WSL in `podman-machine-default`.

I want to reiterate that this is directly in WSL using **Fedora Remix for WSL**. When I use **Podman Desktop** this works as intended, however, I would rather work wholly in WSL.
