Well, here's the thing: without --best , what dnf will do is simply
keep the libraries those packages need. That means that any update
which needs a *newer* version of those libraries will be skipped,
because the newer version isn't being installed.

So because kf5-kfilemetadata needs an old libexiv2, dnf will keep the
old libexiv2 around; that means any update to any *other* package that
requires the newer libexiv2 will also be skipped.

The distro-sync *should* be downgrading kf5 packages to the 5.14.0
builds in F23 at present, so it's a bit of a mystery why it wants to
keep these 5.15.0.fc22 builds.

As it happens, your situation *should* get magically 'ironed out' quite
soon, because this update should show up on the mirrors:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-084749eee7

that's the KF5 5.15.0 update for F23, I'd expect your case should work
better once that's out there.
