The kernel sources, in
drivers/net/wireless/ralink/rt2x00/Kconfig
says this:
config RT2800USB
tristate "Ralink rt27xx/rt28xx/rt30xx (USB) support"
depends on USB
select RT2800_LIB
select RT2X00_LIB_USB
select RT2X00_LIB_FIRMWARE
select RT2X00_LIB_CRYPTO
select CRC_CCITT
---help---
This adds support for rt27xx/rt28xx/rt30xx wireless chipset
family. Supported chips: RT2770, RT2870 & RT3070, RT3071 & RT3072
When compiled as a module, this driver will be called
"rt2800usb.ko".
So, it sounds like your compile didn't actually compile the correct
driver, since yours is called rt5572sta. Not sure why, but that would
explain why it didn't help with recognizing the RT3072 device.
I'm also not sure if the stock Fedora kernel turns on this module. You
could check /boot/config-[your kernel version] to see if
config RT2800USB is selected as a module or to be built in.
