Where did you see instructions to do this?
The problem is that I do not see the new kernel as an option during system
boot.
This is the expected result from the above command. Installing a new
kernel needs
a bunch of steps (see below) so is not as simple as you appear to think.
When I execute the command
ls /boot | grep '^vm'
I see
vmlinuz-5.14.10-300.fc35.x86_64
but I do not see an entry for kernel-5.16.6.
Check "dnf info kernel-5.15.6-200.fc35". If it shows under the heading
"Installed Packages", then "rpm -qil kernel-5.15.6-200.fc35". You
should
get

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the new kernel, but that
has
not fixed the problem.
What should I do to get the option to boot the new kernel ?
The easy way is to use "dnf update". The hard way is
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/rawhide/system-administrators...
(may be outdated, so make sure you understand each command and that the
usage agrees with current manual pages). I think Fedora 35 should use
grubby, not grub2-mkconfig for UEFI systems.
