Yes , but "dnf installs the wrong kernel variant subpackages" [1] is an well known problem, in all faqs we have [2], anyway never understood why we can install kernel-devel without kernel count part [3] (which also may solve the problem), also with use of rpm boolean dependencies, seems we can solve this problem, but rpm boolean dependencies will be just available in F27 or 28 if I'm correct .
