Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in, but I don't think there is a way. dnf knows when removing a package leaves behind what it calls leaves, packages that have nothing depending on them, but I don't think it keeps track of installation method beyond repository of origin. If it is a single package, you could try a dnf remove to see what it wants to remove for dependencies. Those packages would have installed the package you want to remove if it wasn't already installed (pulled it in as a dependency). Packages that have a *lot* of dependencies when you try to remove them, were probably installed as part of the base installation.
