It appears the certificate used to auth the client has expired. Here's the line from repo file referencing it:  

sslclientcert=/etc/pki/rhui/product/content-rhel8-eus.crt
And here's that cert info (note the expiry date):
openssl x509 -noout -text -in /etc/pki/rhui/product/content-rhel8-eus.crt
Certificate:
    Data:
        Version: 3 (0x2)
        Serial Number: 17 (0x11)
        Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption
        Issuer: C = US, ST = Washington, L = Redmond, O = Microsoft, OU = Azure
        Validity
            Not Before: Feb 24 18:41:14 2021 GMT
            Not After : Feb 24 18:41:14 2023 GMT
        Subject: CN = Redhat Update Infrastructure (rhel8-eus-20210224), O = Azure, OU = Azure public
The fix is to install the repo update package with one time disable/enable of the other repos:
dnf update --disablerepo=* --enablerepo='*microsoft*' rhui-azure-rhel8-eus.
This will update the client cert and then the updates can be installed in usual way without resorting to hacks like the one above.
Oh, M$... (facepalm)
						
This fixed it for us:
yum --disablerepo='*' remove 'rhui-azure-rhel8'
wget https://rhelimage.blob.core.windows.net/repositories/rhui-microsoft-azure-rhel8.config
yum --config=rhui-microsoft-azure-rhel8.config install rhui-azure-rhel8
yum update ca-certificates
yum clean all
Seems like you have expired Certifcates in the local store, worth checking this article from RedHat with a license subscription https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6962382
Hope this helps.

Hello Perumal, Sivaprakasam  
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.
Adding to above response from Marshaljs, based on the error details shared the SSL certificate might have expired or is no longer valid, which is causing the error while trying to download rpms.
You can try the following steps to resolve this issue:
 Check if the system date and time are correct. Incorrect system date and time can cause SSL errors. To check the date and time, run the date command.
 Update the ca-certificates package by running the command sudo yum update ca-certificates.
 Clear the yum cache by running the command sudo yum clean all.
 Try to install the required package again by running the command sudo yum install <package-name>.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, you can try disabling the SSL verification temporarily by adding sslverify=false in /etc/yum.conf file, but this is not recommended as it can compromise the security of the system.
Hope the above mentioned troubleshooting steps helps in resolving your issue.
