At leas I interpret Richard's comment [1] differently. I think that Gnome Software (DNF) fetches the metadata once a day, then during that day, update is executed, based on the metadata got earlier. Unfortunately, during period between fetching of metadata and the actual update, the packages might not be available anymore, since the repository content changed.
