[1] Neither "dnf --refresh upgrade" nor "dnf clean expire-cache;dnf upgrade" will try to download the base Fedora data (F22). Only "dnf clean metadata" plus "dnf upgrade" force a full refresh. Just try it out. "--refresh" and "clean expire-cache" result in the same. That also matches the documentation. Both set the metadata some kind of expired but don't really remove the data. "dnf clean metadata" actually removes all metadata and therefore forces a reload for all repositories. It's more like brute force. :-) Also according the the DNF documentation (FAQ), "dnf clean metadata" is the recommended way to get latest updates. That matches my experience.
