I have been doing a dvd iso (stored on the /home partition) install with 
a kickstart.cfg file, but with the new workstation/server/cloud ISOs I 
have found that a netinstall (located in the same directory as the 
server iso)  gives me more flexibility - I can put any of the Fedora 
packages on that I want.

If your computer is setup this way
The drive is setup:
  1 partition for root
  1 partition for /home
  no swap partition (I use a swapfile instead). If you have a swap 
partition that is ok.
I reformat the root partition
I DO NOT reformat the /home partition just mount it.
This allows me to put any version of Fedora on that I want.
I have been doing it this way for 3-4 years and not had any problems.
