I installed org.mozilla.firefox from Flathub, and upon investigating with xeyes, I found that it seems to be running via XWayland as the eyes are able to trace my cursor when hovering over Firefox. I'm using GNOME via Wayland, and I would like to run Firefox as a native Wayland client instead of running it via XWayland. How might I do this with the org.mozilla.firefox package from Flathub? I am not interested in using my distribution's package instead.

You can do this by setting the environment variable MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND to 1 and allowing org.mozilla.firefox to access the Wayland socket via flatpak override.
Something like this:
$ flatpak override --env=MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 --socket=wayland org.mozilla.firefox --user
You can omit --user if you want to do this for all users.
If you prefer to do this graphically, you can use Flatseal: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal
On fedora linux override command did not worked for me. I just executed with command
flatpak --env=MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 run org.mozilla.firefox
