[Release][Packaging] Linux packages are failing to build on release candidate branch

[raulcd]

Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.

The Linux packarges are failing to build on the release candidate branch for 22.0.0. They are trying to download apache arrow 22.0.0 from the official releases page which is not present:

 ** Execute yum:build
/usr/bin/ruby3.2 -S rake yum:build
cd apache-arrow
cd /home/runner/work/arrow/arrow/dev/tasks/linux-packages/../../..

It seems like both the PR and the tag use the same commit and triggers the jobs. The tag ones get cancelled due to a "high priority task" on the same commit. The PR one does not contain ARROW_VERSION on the environment, see for the PR:

 + echo YUM_TARGETS=almalinux-9
+ echo TARGET=almalinux-9
+ '[' branch = tag ']'
...
  env:
    DOCKER_VOLUME_PREFIX: .docker/
    DISTRIBUTION: almalinux
    ARCHITECTURE: amd64
    TASK_NAMESPACE: yum
    DISTRIBUTION_VERSION: 9
    YUM_TARGETS: almalinux-9
    TARGET: almalinux-9

but the tag one does:

+ '[' tag = tag ']'
+ version=22.0.0-rc0
+ echo ARROW_VERSION=22.0.0-rc0
...
   env:
    DOCKER_VOLUME_PREFIX: .docker/
    DISTRIBUTION: almalinux
    ARCHITECTURE: arm64
    TASK_NAMESPACE: yum
    DISTRIBUTION_VERSION: 9
    YUM_TARGETS: almalinux-9-aarch64
    TARGET: almalinux-9-aarch64
    ARROW_VERSION: 22.0.0-rc0

I am currently re-running the tag cancelled jobs here:
https://github.com/apache/arrow/actions/runs/18499225752

We should prevent the PR to cancel the tag jobs

[raulcd]

Re-running the Linux packaging jobs that were canceled for the tag are successful, tracked here:
https://github.com/apache/arrow/actions/runs/18499225752

Artifacts for the finished jobs have been uploaded correctly to the release here:
https://github.com/apache/arrow/releases/tag/apache-arrow-22.0.0-rc0

Ah, the cancel isn't expected...

Nit: Pushing to release-22.0.0-rc0 event (not PR event) and pushing apache-arrow-22.0.0-rc0 tag event are conflicted.

How about this?

Makes sense, I've submitted a PR, thanks @kou
