I think you must have interrupted a kernel update at some point; after
install, but before completion. You could try rebuilding the rpm
database; as root run
rpm --rebuilddb

You could try the dnf equivalent of the yum package-cleanup commands.
dnf repoquery --unsatisfied
dnf repoquery --installonly
to see what kinds of results you get.  They are documented in 
man yum2dnf

If you go back through /var/log/dnf.log.*, is there any kind of report
of irregularity when the 4.8.6 kernel is being installed?

Just some ideas.
