Conditions are AND logic by default. It cant be in both those specified time ranges at once. You need OR logic:

condition:
  - condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: time
        after: "22:00:00"
        before: "00:00:00"
        weekday:
          - mon
          - tue
          - wed
          - thu
          - fri
          - sat
          - sun
      - condition: time
        after: "00:01:00"
        before: "05:00:00"
        weekday:
          - mon
          - tue
          - wed
