It's a known problem in Fedora 28 Workstation in general, it's not limited to ARM let alone the Raspberry Pi. There's a thread on the desktop@ list where it's being discussed. There seems to have been a number of things that have regressed in terms of both memory and cpu usage. Completely unrelated to the regressions in F-28 there's already a planned hackfest in May to improve performance of gnome on constrained devices so I would expect this to improve greatly in the F-29 cycle with luck.
