It is for some who don't like pulling 100+mb of metadata say each day,
with a daily run. If there's only 20mb of updates.

If you do want more updates as per Jan suggestion 
you can dnf clean && dnf upgate

The extra metadate also doesn't bother some, me being one.
cat /etc/cron.daily/yum-clean
#!/bin/bash
# yum clean on a daily basis
/usr/bin/yum clean headers metadata dbcache expire-cache rpmdb \ 
# other stuff
