Bug 1513111
Thanks for the pointer... I'm not in a hurry to upgrade so I may just wait
for a "fix" instead of messing with the workaround.
It is relatively simple to temporarily edit the .conf files in
/etc/yum.repos.d for whatever custom repository you have that have a short
expiration period, and set them to a month, or something. Then, delete
everything that was downloaded the first time, and do a 'dnf system-upgrade
download' again.
This should put a sufficiently long metadata expiration on the downloaded
packages so that dnf doesn't try to refresh them during a 'dnf system-
upgrade reboot'. After the upgrade restore the original expiration
settings, and do a 'dnf clean all'.
