What package version do you have? Python3 shows /usr/share for me:

$ python3 -c "import sys; from distutils import sysconfig; sys.stdout.write(sysconfig.get_python_lib(0,0,prefix='/usr'))" ; echo ; rpm -q python3
<string>:1: DeprecationWarning: The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12. Use setuptools or check PEP 632 for potential alternatives
<string>:1: DeprecationWarning: The distutils.sysconfig module is deprecated, use sysconfig instead
/usr/share/python3.10/site-packages
python3-3.10.4-5.x86_64

On a side note, distutils is deprecated...
