Live images (regardless of whether it is Fedora or whatever) don't have a
choice of upgrading an existing installation.  Basically they dump the
pre-cooked image as it is to the hard disk and write a boot loader.  There
are no packages in the live images.  The advantage is that it is much faster
than upgrading packages one by one in a Anaconda upgrade.  You can do an
"upgrade" if you have a separate /home by just not choosing to format it
during the installation
