Ordinarily, I would say don't bother.  Just dnf update whatever you've
installed, the same as anyone does when using a system and maintaining
it.

For instance, you could install the latest version of things, and
tomorrow there's 200 updates to them.  There's not going to be a
perfect time to do an install that mightn't require lots of updated
packages.

I am curious, though, if someone did an install.  Didn't do any updates
on it for a lengthy time, then did.  If any package(s) had gone through
multiple updates during that time, would any of them have changed so
much that a large version jump is a problem in itself.

Though I strongly suspect not.  In all the years I've been using
Fedora, I don't recall major changes during a release's lifespan.

I'd only bother with updated spins if I couldn't get the original one
to run.
