Taking my cursory look at the system-upgrade plugin, it appears that it

but that seems to be what it does. I could be wrong (and probably am).

That's the obvious answer, but it's wrong, or at least, it was wrong for yum and may be for dnf. What it does is check the database to find out what version of the rpm is installed and that that as the answer. Normally, of course, it works just fine. However, just after an upgrade, the database might show both the old and the new version as being installed but the program stops when it finds the first result, and that's the old one. Try using package-cleanup --dupes or whatever the dnf version is and find out if that's an issue.
