Hello David,
Welcome to Qubes.
yum is retained as placeholder for dnf in later versions, so that old
instructions will continue to work. (I assume Fedora will remove this at
some point.)
You are indeed in a chicken and egg situation. The best you can do is
download the files on another machine, or using a live distro, and then
import them as you suggest. If you have a sys-net and have
assigned the network device to sys-net you will have to install the
firmware in the template used by sys-net.
