sounds like something is messed by an interrupted upgrade
however "yum --releasever=16 reinstall fedora-release" should fix the version-problem

after that "package-cleanup --dupes" and "package-cleanup --problems" are
highly recommended

"package-cleanup --cleandupes" should help fix problems of an interrupted
upgrade, but be carfeul what it likes to do

i had such issues once after a power-outage while dist-upgrade
machine could be started with the old kernel, fnish the upgrade and
"package-cleanup" helped to really cleanup the installation which lived
the next two dist-upgrades until the machine was replaced
