I'm running Fedora 29 and some time ago the Gnome Software Updater

It informs me that there are new updates available and I press the
Download button. After a while the button changes to Restart and Update
and I press it, so the computer reboots and after that it briefly
displays Installing new updates; this could take a while. But then it
just reboots right away and when the system comes up but no updates
have been installed. Gnome Software Updater displays the same software
packages as available for updating. If I run yum update, then the
software packages are updated just fine.

I hope you mean "dnf update".

Any idea what's wrong here?

Try running "dnf system-upgrade log", although that probably doesn't work for regular offline updates. If it gives you a log from the right time, then run "dnf system-upgrade log --number=1" (replace 1 with the right log number). See if you can find an error message.

If that didn't work, then run "journalctl --list-boots" and find the one for the right time. Then run "journalctl -b -1" (again replace with the right number).

Could this problem block me from doing an upgrade to Fedora 30?

It might.
