When upgrading following the instructions at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/, make sure you perform the optional post upgrade tasks like Clean up retired packages, clean up old packages, clean up old keys, clean up old sym-links. Doing that can reduce your chances of future problems. I've been following those instructions for longer than I can remember and it's always worked for me.

Hi All,
This happened to me again when I went to upgrade my
shop computer from FC40 to fc41. So I though I'd repeat
my fix here:
Note: dnf dose not use /etc/redhat-release as it release
version. It uses
/usr/share/licenses/fedora/fedora-release-common*
-T
When dnf thinks you are on the wrong release:
if after the upgrade, dnf still thinks you are on the older version,
remove the stray "fedora-release-common"
For example:
# rpm -qa \*fedora-release-common\*
fedora-release-common-39-36.noarch
fedora-release-common-40-39.noarch
# dnf remove fedora-release-common-39-36.noarch
or globally
# dnf upgrade --allowerase --releasever=[your release, 41
for example]
