Oh, and according to https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/414963/fedora-25-to-27-upgrade-not-enough-space you could also try symlinking or bind mounting /var/lib/dnf/system-upgrade over to a device with more free disk space. I imagine having the upgrade packages on the root device is probably a better option if you can, so exercise caution.
