From what I can tell the boot sequence on an nvidia and/or kernel update is this:
Machine boots up. Akmods begins building new driver and/or driver for new kernel. Available old driver loads (if new kernel the driver will be nouveau, if new nvidia this will be older nvidia) and Graphics start up. Akmods finishes and installs the nvidia module.
On the machine I have that uses the rpmfusion nvidia, I login and manually start up graphics, and I have been checking dmesg and waiting the 3-5 minutes it takes for akmods to finish building the module.. If I do not wait and immediately login(text console) and start graphics then I will get nouveau and lower screen resolutions.
Note modinfo <drivername> will show you the internal version number that is installed.

Any ideas?
You can examine /var/log/akmods/akmods.log to see the progress of the driver build and make sure the build finished before rebooting.
When I install a new kernel, a new nvidia is pulled in as a dependency, and akmod is rebuilt before I reboot. I need to wait long enough for this to finish. I am currently still running Fedora 35. Is this not what will happen with Fedora 36?
