RHEL 8.x is based on Fedora 28.  RHEL 9.x is based on Fedora 34 via
CentOS Stream.  You can find this information on Wikipedia:

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux#Version_history_and_timeline

Fedora 9, on the other hand, was released in 2008.  It was between
RHEL 5 and 6; RHEL 6.x was based on Fedora 12.

I'm not sure where you heard/read that Fedora and RHEL versioning were
synchronized, but as you can see from the above articles, they differ
by a lot.  (And that difference is actually growing, not shrinking,
due to Fedora's much shorter release life cycle.) :-)
