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).
Interesting. This leaves me with some questions. Like, what did you install and how did you install it?
I just created a new F32 VM from Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-32-1.6.iso. When I booted into the live image and checked the status of packagekit-offline-update it showed.
● packagekit-offline-update.service - Update the operating system whilst offline Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/packagekit-offline-update.service; static; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead)
I then did the "Install to Disk" and rebooted.
There was no message about installing updates. And, when finished the "Welcome" procedures to create my user I check and the status of packagekit-offline-update was unchanged.
So, how can I reproduce what caused your system to do something different?
