I think he means extracting the .iso to one partition and using it to

That sort of thing used to be possible. It was one method that those
people remotely administrating a headless server used to update an
installation. They can't walk into a server farm on the other side of
the world, and insert media. The update has to be done from what's
probably the only drive in the box.
You can easily update an installation remotely. That's what fedup and
its dnf equivalent are for. Doing an initial install that way is quite
a different story.
