You should realize that the error message you are getting makes little sense.

Chances are your system has 3 kernels installed and potentially a "rescue" kernel. 
With that your /boot has 187MB used with 271MB available.  41% of the disk space has
been consumed.

It doesn't make any sense that the next kernel will need 271MB + 34MB to install.

As a comparison.  I have 3 kernels installed (including 4.16.11-300) + a "rescue"
kernel and

[root@meimei boot]# df /boot
Filesystem     1K-blocks   Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1        1408512 214880   1104032  17% /boot

Or just 214MB used in total.

The first message shows "needs 34MB on the /boot filesystem" which seems about
right.  On my system...

initramfs-4.16.10-300   =  22MB
vmlinuz-4.16.10-300    =     8.3MB
System.map-4.16.10-300 = 3.9MB

The fact that the next message says " At least 34MB more space needed..."  seems to
be saying that dnf think the /boot filesystem is full.

Conjecture is just a conclusion based on incomplete information. It isn't a fact.
