Team-scoped connections not resolving

Apache Airflow version

3.2.1

What happened and how to reproduce it?

I'm running airflow 3.2.1 in EKS with multi_team mode enabled, and using the EKSPodOperator to execute DAGs on remote clusters. To do this, I have configured aws_default connections using AIRFLOW_CONN__<TEAM>___<CONN_ID> (e.g. AIRFLOW_CONN__TEAM_A___AWS_DEFAULT). However, the EKSPodOperator is failing.

I think the issue lies in airflow.sdk.execution_time.context. In _get_connection, SecretCache.get_connection_uri(conn_id) supports passing team_name, but is missing the value when retrieving the connection info from the env.

---

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Enable multi-team mode (core.multi_team = true)
2. Set a team-scoped connection via env var: AIRFLOW_CONN__TEAM_A___AWS_DEFAULT='{"conn_type":"aws","extra":{"role_arn":"..."}}'
3. Assign a DAG bundle to myteam
4. In a DAG, use an operator that looks up aws_default (e.g. EksPodOperator which defaults to aws_conn_id="aws_default")
5. The team-scoped env var is ignored

What you think should happen instead?

AIRFLOW_CONN__ values should be team scoped, (possibly) with team scoped values taking priority over global values.
