No joy. Same result. Had to fall back on basic KDE updater to get all
the updates available. Grayed-out Groups button, and dnfdragora shows
"Empty" when it's not empty, or shouldn't be.

Finally I solved the problem.
I had been using the "Update" option for dnfdragora's GUI. And that
grayed out the Groups/All toggle and the "To update/All/Installed"
option selector.
So I finally opened dnfdragora from the Applications menu
(Administration sub-menu) with the generic, "just see what's in there"
options.
Those selectors then became active, and I was able to set the left-hand
button from "Groups" to "All." And accomplished one update that had
been
waiting.
Unfortunately the "Update" option will always pre-select Groups and have
the selector grayed out. But the "Open dnfdragora dialog" option will
allow me to make any selection I need.
A bit of a counterintuitive solution, but it is a solution.
