Mock-1.2 no longer depends on yum API and has been ported to use DNF. So if you use the new version and set config_opts['package_manager']='dnf' and also install dnf-plugins-core, you should be able to use it without any problems. But the dnf-yum (/usr/bin/yum being symlink to dnf) scenario is not supported yet, you have to explicitly tell it to use dnf, otherwise it won't work. dnf and yum don't always behave the same and mock has to treat them a bit differently. But the package itself still needs to depend on yum, because even if dnf-yum was supported, it doesn't pull in dnf-plugins-core package which contains builddep command.
