I believe the upgrade log is in /var/log/upgrade.log.

You might want to try this:

# dnf --allowerasing --assumeno update | tee dnflog.txt

If I recall correctly, this happened to me on only one system I tried
upgrading from F21 -> F22.  There I blithely did a 'dnf update' just
to see what would happen.  (It was an experimental system so I was OK
with being foolhardy).  In that case, the update just solved
everything.

However, I'm not fully confident it will work for you, but if you look
at the output (dnflog.txt) you'll see a list of what would happen if
you ran the update.  Ideally, you'll see lots of potential updates,
and very few potential removals (maybe old kernels, but make sure at
least one is being updated).

Based on the results, you can decide what if any data to back up, and
then try it.  YMMV, caveat emptor.
