It wants to remove 83 packages when I issue that command. If I specify --noautoremove it still wants to remove 24 packages.
Are the packages to be removed with --noautoremove all kernel packages?
Post the list so we can see if it would cause a problem.
There are 11 kernel packages, and here are the rest.

I had hoped you would give the full list so we could see what kernel packages were to be removed as well. Is kernel-devel among those?
Since none of those are critical to operation, and the needed ones easily reinstalled it should not hurt to remove them. Note which ones are removed so you can ensure they are reinstalled later.
Any that are needed would immediately be reinstalled when the new kernel is installed.
Here are the kernel packages:
kernel x86_64 6.2.8-200.fc37 @updates 0
kernel x86_64 6.2.9-200.fc37 @updates 0
kernel-core x86_64 6.2.8-200.fc37 @updates 64 M

kernel-modules-extra x86_64 6.2.9-200.fc37 @updates 3.4 M```Personally I would go ahead and remove those kernels with the noautoremove option then do the dnf upgrade as noted above.
I was hesitant to remove those dependent packages. So i just removed one 6.2 kernel with yum remove 'kernel*6.2.8*' --noautoremove. Then I updated everything and today it is working with the 6.2.15 kernel and nouveau 1:1.0.17-4.fc37. Thanks for all the advice. Now I am being prompted to install Fedora 38. Will I still have my 6.1 kernel installed if I do that?
It is always recommended to do a full upgrade with dnf upgrade --refresh before doing a release version upgrade. You said that the 6.2.15 kernel is working for you so I would not worry to much about the 6.1 kernel. That kernel is already obsolete for most, and will no longer receive updates.
