I'd expect verify to be mostly reads.

A strace of dnf might reveal what it's up to. A sysrq+t would show
what everyone is doing including if there's anything else especially
busy that's maybe slowing down whatever dnf is up to. It's
sufficiently verbose that it will fill up the kernel message buffer,
and likely a lot of messages will be dropped, so use journalctl -k
rather than dmesg to collect the output from a sysrq+t.
