If you are willing to go somewhat manual to transfer the package files
within your local network, you can just set 
keepcache=1
in /etc/dnf.conf.  Then, the packages will remain
in /var/cache/dnf/rawhide[]/packages, and you can transfer them
wherever you want.  Maybe write an rsync script that will put them in
the /var/cache/dnf/rawhide[]/packages directory on all the other
systems you want to update.  Set keepcache=0 on those systems so the
packages are removed after update, and when the rsync is done, just run
dnf clean packages 
in the rsync script to get rid of them on the original system.
