I think these are two separate issues. Independent of the background refreshes dnf should always check if its current view of the world is up-to-date (that is the data in its cache is current). This can be fairly important when it comes to security issues. When a fatal exploit is fixed in a package you don't want dnf to say that there are not updates available when this is in fact not true.
