AFAICS, the RpmFusion package uses akmod not DKMS to build the kernel

With kmod you have two options either install kmod-VirtualBox which has
pre-built kernel modules in which case you'll have to wait for the package
to get updated to get the modules for the updated kernel; or install
akmod-VirtualBox which should build the module at boot, of course the build
can fail and require a patch... etc.

I haven't had any problems with the Oracle supplied VirtualBox for a
few months. The one from RPMFusion kept lagging behind; yum would
upgrade to latest kernel irrespective of if VirtualBox's dependencies
are met or not.
I am not with or against using the package from upstream; but you could
remove kmod-VirtualBox and install akmod-VirtualBox and that one doesn't
depend of a specific kernel version as it's supposed to build the kernel
modules automatically for a new kernel.
