OK, but that's independent of the client being used. Both yum and
dnf see the same updates, but dnf doesn't seem to be as quick to

Sure, different repos have different policies but why would that affect
Fedora updates? The commands I quoted clearly show that there was newer
metadata that dnf ignored until I blew away the old cache.
