I think it's the packagekit-offline-update.service that actually performs the update during shutdown (triggered by system-update.target). I bet if you run: 'systemctl mask packagekit-offline-update.service' ... it will disable the updates during shutdown.
Bingo! I used "systemctl --root=/mnt/sysroot" to mask both packagekit-offline-update and packagekit before booting the first time after the reinstall, and rebooted with no messages about installing updates. (And no gnome notifications about new updates I desperately need to install).
Thanks!
Now I can do a dnf makecache and dnf update when I want to do it.
