OK....  I read FAQ.....

http://akozumpl.github.io/dnf/user_faq.html#why-do-i-get-different-results-with-dnf-update-vs-yum-update

And the one following it....  "Is it possible to force DNF to get the latest metadata on dnf upgrade?"

Running KDE and the notifications in the systray showed there are 12 updates available.  Figured I give dnf a try, which I've done from time to time, but it showed no packages to update.  OK....so clean metadata for both yum and dnf....

ran both "yum check-update" and "dnf check-update".

yum listed the 12
