Rpk security user list ignore brokers option/env var

[maingoh]

Version & Environment

Redpanda version: (use rpk version):

Version:     v24.1.3
Git ref:     1cae54a38e
Build date:  2024-05-23T21:37:19Z
OS/Arch:     linux/amd64
Go version:  go1.22.2

What went wrong?

I can't manage to create a user on our fmc using rpk security user create --tls-enabled with the env vars:

REDPANDA_SASL_PASSWORD=my_password
REDPANDA_SASL_MECHANISM=SCRAM-SHA-X
REDPANDA_SASL_USERNAME=my_user
REDPANDA_BROKERS=foo.fmc.prd.cloud.redpanda.com:9092

Or even by adding the --brokers option. It always try to reach a localhost cluster: unable to list users: Get "http://127.0.0.1:9644/api/v1/security/users": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9644: connect: connection refused
It works well when listing the topics for example using rpk topic list --tls-enabled

What should have happened instead?

It should create the user on the distant fmc instead of a localhost cluster
