You may have another problem installing both 
master-pdf-editor-4.3.89-1.x86_64 and master-pdf-editor-5.3.16_qt5.x86_64 
because if they are like most packages they will use the same file 
locations so only one can be installed at a time. The kernel packages are 
special in this respect because they install in version specific 
locations.

Incidentally if you look hard enough in the dnf code you can see that 
that installonlypkgs is set for the kernel packages by default which is 
why you can't see it in the configuration files.
