That stuff (which is offered by PackageKit) uses preupgrade.

So if you end up with leftover F10 stuff after that, there are 3
possibilities:
1. Your preupgrade was too old. The current version is 1.1.0, it uses F11
updates and even the F11 versions of 3rd-party repos like kde-redhat to
upgrade your system. Older versions fetched only what's in the F11
Everything repo and that tends to be older than the current F10 updates.
2. You fetched some packages from something like updates-testing or
kde-redhat testing/unstable (using --enablerepo= or equivalent) which you
don't have permanently enabled, so preupgrade didn't find the F11
equivalents.
3. The upgrade paths are broken in the repositories. In that case, bugs
should be filed against the affected packages.
