Related, be sure to look in /lib/modules for old kernel artifacts.
There have been several bugs related to proceccessing old kernel
removals. The removal scripts would _not_ remove the directory if they
were not empty, and the script had a bug that left a few small files.
Something like this is safe to run to cleanup /lib/modules:
# https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2185410
clean_lib_modules() {
if [[ -d "/lib/modules" ]]; then
echo "Cleaning /lib/modules"
# dirs=($(ls /lib/modules))
mapfile -t dirs < <(ls /lib/modules)
for dir in "${dirs[@]}"
do
dir="/lib/modules/${dir}"
if [ "$(du -s -B 4096 "${dir}" | awk '{print $1}')" -lt 4096 ]
then
echo " removing ${dir}"
rm -rf "${dir}" 2>/dev/null
fi
done
fi
}

I do not fully understand that script, but I did the clean-up. 5 old directories, each having several times 4096 blocks were left behind. I don't know if the problem is in dnf, a database, or something/somewhere else. But post patching clean-up seems to be an ongoing problem.
I'm still needing the answer to the core questions of this thread.
