Packages don't touch /home, so all that would be needed is to keep /home.
Or backup your user's files and restore them after an upgrade or after a
fresh installation.

As jumping from F16 to F22 could result in lots of surprises (and
upgrading from F16 to F17 to F18 ... to F22 would be tiresome), I would
always prefer a fresh installation, especially if you want to rethink your
partitioning. It would also be an opportunity to recreate the list of packages
you want to add to the default installation afterwards.
