I tried this on a whim some time ago with another old machine (F34 -> F37 in that case), and it worked then too.

I could have done that, I guess, but it would have been more work. So, I gave the nogpgcheck to update, and then verified once the update to the higher release version happened. I can see why this would not be recommended. I think that my case was safer because I used the F34 to install and then immediately moved to upgrade to F38. No non-Fedora repos were added before the upgrade.
