Does "sudo dnf remove kernel*-3.18.3*" work for you?

From the DNF's persepective 
(http://dnf.readthedocs.org/en/latest/command_ref.html#specifying-packages), 
your specification is in the form "name" (because of the missing dash) and 
there is no package with a name matching "kernel*3.18.3*". Also in the second 
query, it is assumed that the name must match "kernel*3.18.3".

TBH, I don't know whether we should extend the forms of package specifications 
to support your case. The current behaviour seems to be safer to me. I mean, if 
we improve it, user wouldn't be able to query just package names as easily as 
now.
