After my most recent sudo dnf upgrade,

Previously when my /var ran low,
the problem was a directory named cache that I could just remove.

Flatpak is its own thing, and as far as I know, it's not managed by
dnf. I don't use it to be familar with how Fedora is doing it, but it
has its own management commands.
The way flatpaks work, it *is* going to be a space-wasting thing. But
if you really are not using any of them, you ought to be able to remove
a lot of their files, if not all of them. And probably reconfigure dnf
to ignore them.
Though the question will be, are you actually using some flatpak things
without realising it?
Some applications are moving to appimage or flatpack only. No other
option unless Fedora volunteers take up the project. I have found this
with one application that used to use appimage is moving to flatpack to
save volunteer time and energy. For some applications, it is the wave
of the future.
It needs to be planned for as many of us, me included, didn't have
enough space if /var partition to account for this change.
I am now going to be rebuilding machines that have small /var
partitions. At least with flatpack, I can use applications that are not
in any Fedora repository.
