I think there was something wrong with the worker nodes. I deleted the worker nodes from the cluster. cleaned up the VMs

cleanupdirs="/etc/rancher /etc/cni /opt/cni /var/lib/cni /var/run/calico"
for dir in $cleanupdirs; do
  echo "Removing $dir"
  rm -rf $dir
done

and reinstalled the agent registering them to the original cluster. Once the nodes were back in the cluster, I was successfully able to install MariaDB.
