I may sound old school but my suggestion would be to forget yum aka dnf
for now and just fix the real stuff using rpm.
I always considered yum a wrapper for rpm (I wish it was) and was able to
fix a system with rpm alone and later make yum behave again.
It usually boils down to analyzing what is in the rpm db and what is on
the filesystem actually. You can then remove invalid rpm db content as
well as wrong filesystem content. It's a bit of work and you may create
helper scripts as needed but you can fix almost everything that way.
