Yeah, change pages don't always get updated terribly quickly. Please
consider https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade the
'official' page (as official as the wiki gets) and yell if anything on
it is wrong.

Probably down to exactly the issue I mentioned. If you have third party
repos enabled, particularly, there are several known chains that will
lead to dnf-system-upgrade leaving huge numbers of packages out of the
upgrade. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1263677 .
