This sda3 is the only ESP among your 3 disks. In general, having only one ESP is
perfectly fine on a GNU/Linux computer, if:
1-all installations were done in legacy/BIOS mode, and none use the ESP, or
2-all installations were done in UEFI mode, and all use it, unless more than one
installation is of the same distro, in which case /etc/default/grub needs its
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR= made unique on /at least/ all-1 of the matching distros. This
could become Patrick Dupre, and probably should.
3-kernels are not installed on ESP. This is OK in principle, but only if ESP is
large enough to fit the expected number of kernels. In traditional UEFI
installations, the ESP is not used for keeping kernels or initrds. 500M is more
than adequate if no kernels are kept there, but not if multiple kernels for each
Fedora release are kept there.
If on Patrick's system more than one installation was done in UEFI mode, then
the
UEFI installations' bootloaders will be a case of last one probably wins,
usurping
each other at every upgrade. The result is similar to reinstalling Windows,
where
Window bootloader replaces GRUB code in MBR with its own to break Linux booting.
The most recently installed Fedora bootloader will be the one whose ESP entry in
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/ is in control of UEFI booting.
Please boot in UEFI mode, then gather and provide here output from:
A-efibootmgr -v", and
B-tree /boot/efi"
Also report for each of the 3 installations:
a-value of GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR= in /etc/default/grub
b-content of /etc/fstab
c-input/output of lsblk -f
