That's because the FreeRADIUS rpm's on Fedora and RHEL are not 
monolithic. Instead you install only what you need by selecting the 
appropriate freeradius subpackage, freeradius-mysql in this instance.

FYI, the reason the install is broken into multiple smaller subpackages 
is to avoid having the installer install every possible dependency for 
every feature of FreeRADIUS. For example if you're only using MySQL 
there is no need to install Postgresql, LDAP, etc. on your system even 
though FreeRADIUS has the potential to use these other backends. Most 
users do not want the excessive bloat of installing every possible 
dependency, this scheme allows you to pick and choose what you need.
