When you click the check box to add a sideloaded book without DRM to a collection the message has nothing to do with connecting to WiFI. The message is that this book will not sync with the Cloud. Makes perfect sense since you did not purchase the book from Amazon and therefore it isn't in their Cloud so they aren't going to track it for you.

Is it possible you converted the book? If so, then it is no longer the book Amazon gave you.
Many books are sold without DRM to begin with. If DRM was the only determinant of whether or not you see the "won't sync to cloud" message, then any book bought from Baen or Tor or KDP (and I don't know how many other books as well) would get that error as well.
A book with DRM is exactly the same as a book without DRM, as far as your (matching ID) Kindle is concerned even when factoring in Alf, until you do other changes. Alf does the same decryption that your Kindle does.
