Section 9 says:

    sa-Ed25519 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM ::= {
       IDENTIFIER id-Ed25519
        PARAMS ARE absent
        PUBLIC-KEYS {pk-Ed25519}
        SMIME-CAPS { IDENTIFIED BY id-Ed25519 }
    }

    pk-Ed25519 PUBLIC-KEY ::= {
        IDENTIFIER id-Ed25519
        -- KEY no ASN.1 wrapping --
        PARAMS ARE absent
        CERT-KEY-USAGE {digitalSignature, nonRepudiation,
                        keyCertSign, cRLSign}
        PRIVATE-KEY CurvePrivateKey
    }

It should say:

    sa-Ed25519 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM ::= {
       IDENTIFIER id-Ed25519
        PARAMS ARE absent
        PUBLIC-KEYS {pk-Ed25519}
        SMIME-CAPS { IDENTIFIED BY id-Ed25519 }
    }

    pk-Ed25519 PUBLIC-KEY ::= {
        IDENTIFIER id-Ed25519
        -- KEY no ASN.1 wrapping --
        PARAMS ARE absent
        CERT-KEY-USAGE {digitalSignature, nonRepudiation,
                        keyCertSign, cRLSign}
        PRIVATE-KEY CurvePrivateKey
    }

   sa-Ed448 SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM ::= {
      IDENTIFIER id-Ed448
       PARAMS ARE absent
       PUBLIC-KEYS {pk-Ed448}
       SMIME-CAPS { IDENTIFIED BY id-Ed448 }
   }

   pk-Ed448 PUBLIC-KEY ::= {
       IDENTIFIER id-Ed448
       -- KEY no ASN.1 wrapping --
       PARAMS ARE absent
       CERT-KEY-USAGE {digitalSignature, nonRepudiation,
                       keyCertSign, cRLSign}
       PRIVATE-KEY CurvePrivateKey
   }

Notes:

The definitions for sa-Ed448 and pk-Ed448 are missing from RFC 8410.
