That does clearly *not* provide the latest updates. It's better than
without "--refresh", but "dnf clean metadata" is required for full
updates available.
Once you figured that out, you can write a script and then get what
you want. All other users come here every couple of weeks and will
ask the same question again: Why doesn't yum/dnf fetch all updates?
And that's indeed a good question, why "dnf upgrade" called
interactively on a shell does such an excessive caching so that
people are wondering if it is working properly at all.
If I do "ls" on my shell prompt, I also expect the actual contents
of the current directory and not some cached output six hours ago. :-)
