The nodejs:10 Application Stream was retired in April 2021 per
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel-app-streams-life-cycle

As CentOS Stream is the development space for the next minor release
of RHEL, this ran into an awkward timing scenario.  The
nodejs-10.24.0-1.module_el8.3.0+717+fa496f1d.x86_64 build is from an
errata after the RHEL 8.3 release, but the release of RHEL 8.4 was in
May 2021 which fell after the end of support for the nodejs:10 module.
Nothing was ever intended to ship in RHEL 8.4 for nodejs:10, therefore
CentOS Stream 8 has no newer builds to work with.

In all cases, I would recommend migrating to a supported version of nodejs.
