I don't see the discussion in the dnf(8) man page after a quick read. And in particular, the discussion under PACKAGE FILTERING.[1] I think the use of multiple excludepkgs is intuitive. Each time you want to pin a package, you add an excludepkgs. When you no longer want to pin a package, you delete the particular excludepkgs. I also understand the usage may be one excludepkgs with commas separating a list of package names. That makes sense, too. I think this is probably a documentation bug. You should file a bug report at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ .
