Radeon is an AMD video product (formerly ATI).  Nouveau is the open
source driver for nvidia.  Completely different companies.

I think the package you want is xorg-x11-drv-ati-7.9.0-3.fc27.x86_64
There is one called drv-amdgpu, but I think that is for the amd cpus
that have video built in.

At least drv-ati is what is on my system for my radeon and works
fine in X.  Like you, I'm not very clear on Wayland.  Since it doesn't
allow custom keymaps, and I use one, I haven't really explored it.

There used to be a proprietary driver called catalyst.  I've never used
it, and don't even know if it still exists.
