Was your original installation the default Workstation or KDE Spin?
It was the default workstation (GNOME?). This would have been early spring 2013. Other workstations were added later, though I rarely use them.
I'm not sure Wayland would have been part of the default install in 2013, and if all your subsequent installs have been updates than that could explain why you don't have it.
It almost certainly was not. Patching ("dnf --refresh upgrade" or some earlier dnf/yum equivalent) indeed almost certainly would not install wayland. But it should have been a part of a semi-annual upgrade ("dnf system-upgrade download --refresh --releasever=nn" + "dnf system-upgrade reboot", or some earlier dnf/yum equivalent). I have done the semi-annual upgrade every spring and fall since the initial install in 2013. So I should have it, and it should be functioning.
