Thanks for the responses Joe and Patrick, I've checked the 
installonly_limit in yum.conf and it is set to 3, which now confuses me 
because I've never had more than one kernel installed even when doing 
updates with yum. It has been this way for me since Fedora 18 which is 
when I first started using Fedora. I have 2 installed at the moment 
because the last update I did installed a new kernel and I did that 
update with DNF to try it out for the first time.
I've run an installed package check with smartpm and it is telling me 
the 2 kernel and kernel-dev packages can't coexist so I'll be raising a 
bug report on that with its developers.
Looking at the way DNF did its installs it doesn't seem to be any 
different to yum other than it is obvious that DNF does parallel 
downloads. DNF looks to have also reused some of the YUM code base as 
when you issue the command     dnf --help it displays the following output:

--version             show Yum version and exit
