Look at the log entry where I indicated. It's an F27 kernel. F28 doesn't
have PAE kernels so it won't upgrade to an F28 kernel. You could force
an F27 PAE kernel on the machine that didn't upgrade, but from now on
you won't see PAE kernels in the repos. You'll need to build them
yourself from the source RPMs.
