No, except perhaps akmods. The main one for the nvidia kernel module is akmod-nvidia that you have.
Aha! 'akmods' was installed, but fails to run, reporting a missing dependency--'kernel-devel'!
Old story :-( See: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2569
So, every time the kernel is updated, the build of the nvidia module fails (silently, as far as I can see).
There is perhaps a trace in the journal for akmods@KERNEL.service or in the logs under /var/cache/akmods
Having installed that, akmods now happily builds the nvidia module and the system boots and uses it.
Good.
I have also validated the akmods-shutdown service that recompiles (if needed) all the kmods for all the kernels at shutdown. I don't care to loose a few minutes when rebooting since I do that only every two or 3 weeks after a full update.
