I'm defining branch protection rules on GitHub, and I would like to know if is there any way to define a Pull Request flow like: qa --> main.

I know it's possible to require pull request before merging (on Require a pull request before merging flag under Branches > Branch protection rule), but I didn't find any option for defining this flow.

There's no way on GitHub to force a source branch to be fixed to a certain value, but you can solve this problem with a required CI check that fails if the PR to main has the wrong source branch. That's the usual way that people handle this sort of issue.
