the right place (/boot) and is not detected by GRUB. Why not?
For example, after installing the most recent new kernel, I see this.
[root@machine ~]# ls /boot

But RPM thinks the new kernel was installed correctly!
[root@machine ~]# rpm -V kernel-core-4.15.9-300.fc27
(no output)
I have installed kernels 4.15.9-300, 4.15.6-300 and 4.15.4-300, all of
which were installed correctly into /boot by dnf and like you have
indicated all 3 are also replicated in the long named directory that
matches the rescue kernel name because of the grub setting to create
rescue entries. From your listing you seem to have changed dnf's default
of only keeping 3 kernels, do you have a setting in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
that might be causing dnf to only write kernels to the rescue location?
