Closed bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1359352
as  it is said to be a duplicate of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1385432

On this latter page is a hint that the issue might be an LVM one,
i.e. LVM created during automatic partitioning at install time. Not
clear ...

Comment 143
"I then reinstalled without LVM using custom partioning, updated and
 now the problem is gone"
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1385432#c143

Seems to be serious, and an old bug, and unfixed.

Good luck!
Wolfgang
