​Check your version of /usr/sbin/liveinst.
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/anaconda.git/tree/data/liveinst/liveinst#n40

Mine shows this:

# Try to sort out where the live device is
 if [ -z "$LIVE_BLOCK" ]; then
    if [ -b "/dev/mapper/live-base" ]; then
        LIVE_BLOCK="/dev/mapper/live-base"
    elif [ -b "/dev/mapper/live-osimg-min" ]; then
       LIVE_BLOCK="/dev/mapper/live-osimg-min"
    fi
fi

Knowing this, if you want to install your updated system, you might try
removing live-base and renaming live-rw to live-base before running
liveinst.

sudo dmsetup remove live-base
sudo dmsetup rename live-rw live-base
