Unlikely.

So I just did a single rpm update (btrfs-progs, less than 1MiB) and
dnf hung for about 2 minutes between

  Cleanup     : btrfs-progs-4.7.1-1.fc26.x86_64

and

  Verifying   : btrfs-progs-4.7.2-1.fc26.x86_64

I attached strace to the dnf pid and all I got was

wait4(20314,

It stayed there for the entire 1-2 minute hang and then I got a spew
of stuff, but also that line became


wait4(20314, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 20314
--- SIGCHLD {si_signo=SIGCHLD, si_code=CLD_EXITED, si_pid=20314,
si_uid=0, si_status=0, si_utime=0, si_stime=2} ---
close(48)                               = 0
unlink("/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.vAGW3L")       = 0
[...snip 1000+ lines...]

So it might not actually be dnf itself, maybe this calls for -ff -o to
get all child pids also straced and written to their own files. It may
be dnf is hung up waiting on something else, I have no idea.

But this is sorta new. There's always been a hang without a status of
what it's doing, but it's only been particularly long for bigger
updates. For a single rpm to have this long of a hang is unusual in my
experience.
