fedpkg will only download files from upstream's repository.
GNU Linux-libre ones aren't available there, unless someone else
uploaded them.

Files that only we ship have to be downloaded manually from our
repository.  E.g.:

> Remove downloaded invalid file ./linux-libre-5.14-gnu.tar.xz

wget -c \
https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/5.14-gnu/linux-libre-5.14-gnu.tar.xz

And then, for the incremental patch:

wget -c \
https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/releases/5.14.15-gnu/patch-5.14-gnu-5.14.15-gnu.xz
