Seems like a "group" packaging issue to me.

The "group info" for "KDE Plasma Workspaces" has a mandatory group of base-x and this is
the info for that group.

[root@f24b-g ~]# dnf group info base-x
Last metadata expiration check: 1:28:06 ago on Thu May 26 10:27:08 2016.

Group: base-x
 Description: Local X.org display server
 Mandatory Packages:
   glx-utils
   mesa-dri-drivers
   plymouth-system-theme
   xorg-x11-drv-armsoc
   xorg-x11-drv-ati
   xorg-x11-drv-evdev
   xorg-x11-drv-fbdev
   xorg-x11-drv-freedreno
   xorg-x11-drv-intel
   xorg-x11-drv-mga
   xorg-x11-drv-modesetting
   xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
   xorg-x11-drv-omap
   xorg-x11-drv-openchrome
   xorg-x11-drv-qxl
   xorg-x11-drv-synaptics
   xorg-x11-drv-vesa
   xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse
   xorg-x11-drv-vmware
   xorg-x11-drv-wacom
   xorg-x11-server-Xorg
   xorg-x11-utils
   xorg-x11-xauth
   xorg-x11-xinit
 Optional Packages:
   xorg-x11-drv-geode

This contains several packages that don't exist....

[root@f24b-g ~]# dnf info xorg-x11-drv-omap
Last metadata expiration check: 1:30:33 ago on Thu May 26 10:27:08 2016.
Error: No matching Packages to list

[root@f24b-g ~]# dnf info xorg-x11-drv-modesetting
Last metadata expiration check: 1:31:27 ago on Thu May 26 10:27:08 2016.
Error: No matching Packages to list

So, doesn't it seem that if Fedora doesn't supply those packages it should modify the
base-x group to reflect what is supplied?
