Looking at the dib code [0] that does the image selection the other variables at play are $DIB_FLAVOR and $ARCH. If I set DIB_RELEASE=8, DIB_FLAVOR=GenericCloud, and ARCH=x86_64 then running `curl -s https://cloud.centos.org/centos/${DIB_RELEASE}/${ARCH}/images/ | grep -o "CentOS-.[^>]*${DIB_FLAVOR}-.[^>]*.qcow2" | sort -r | head -1` produces "CentOS-8-GenericCloud-8.2.2004-20200611.2.x86_64.qcow2".

I suspect that means if I were to run a build it would be based on that image. Can you double check you aren't setting DIB_FLAVOR to another value that may not support 8.2 yet or perhaps another ARCH? Also, if you can share logs from the build via a paste service that would be helpful in debugging.

One other thing to consider is that you can use the centos-minimal element instead which will build an image from scratch using yum/dnf.
