I suspect it's likely this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1306992
Yep. And the problem is KeepCache is true by default. I'm not sure
why. If #KeepCache=false is uncommented from PackageKit.conf, the
problem goes away (it doesn't clean up already applied RPMs, but
applied RPMs are deleted after successful offline installation). The
bug reports
# pkcon refresh force
does remove old RPMs. So maybe a future PackageKit update could run a
script that executes that refresh as well as uncommenting
KeepCache=false?
