The usual cause of this is that you installed the newer packages with
the updates-testing repository enabled, but it is now disabled. This
usually happens if you install a pre-release, because updates-testing
is usually enabled for pre-releases, but shortly before the release
goes final, we send out a fedora-repos update that disables it.

You can either just re-enable updates-testing if you don't mind having
it enabled, or if you don't want it enabled, it may be best to do a
'dnf distro-sync' to downgrade all "newer" packages to the current
stable release.
