You are misreading the PackageUserRegistry page. Or more likely, you haven't
read it carefully enough to follow the link in the first sentence. RHEL
doesn't use the 'fedora-usermgmt' feature. Not even Fedora uses it everywhere.

Yes, I see that -- but my problem is still the same, I need to register
a user/group with a static numerical id. So, is there any way to get a
number assigned and know that no other RHEL/Fedora packages will
be allowed to conflict ?

I have always filed a BZ against the 'setup' RPM asking for a
static uid/gid pair to be allocated, and the changelogs support
this approach:
$ rpm -q setup --changelog | grep reserve
- reserve uidgid pair 109:109 for rhevm(#652287)
- reserve uidgid pair 172:172 for rtkit (#609171)
- reserve uidgid pair 170:170 for avahi-autoipd
- reserve uidgid pair 171:171 for pulse (pulseaudio)
- reserve uidgid pair 140:140 for ricci daemon(#585957)
- reserve uidgid pair 141:141 for luci daemon(#585958)
- reserve uidgid pair 155:155 for stap-server(#555813)
- reserve uidgid pair 113:113 for usbmuxd(#556525)
- reserve uidgid pair 133:133 for bacula(#554705)
- reserve uidgid pair 112:112 for vhostmd (#534110)

Other than the suggestion further below, the Fedora Packaging Guidelines
don't handle static uid/gid assignment yet:
