Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
A noindex robots meta tag is added to the sitemap on purpose. This is in line with Google’s guidelines and that is how sitemaps work.
Please submit your sitemap_index.xml file to Google Search Console so Google can see all URLs in your sitemap.
Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server.

I hope this helps you with your issues.
