You have been lucky.
I have had the same, or similar, problems frequently
with previous CD versions of Fedora, both upgrading and clean installation.

I've come to the conclusion that the CD or DVD reading part of anaconda
is not the best.
The most annoying part was when it said it did not have the driver
for the CD reader, after it had been using it for some time.

I long ago gave up trying to use CDs or DVDs,
and now always use hard disk upgrades.
