That does clearly *not* provide the latest updates. It's better than
without "--refresh", but "dnf clean metadata" is required for full
updates available.
FWIW, this my bug report fell on deaf ears:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1246253
I find it disheartening how it was closed without even acknowledging
that the problem exists, so I decided not to pursue this further. If
someone is willing to put in the effort to push for this, please reopen
the bug. Or maybe a new one, specifically on --refresh not doing what it
is supposed to.
