Is this ok [y/N]: 

if i want to see a packet info i do dnf info rdma-core for example.

But if i like to see the info of all four packages is there a way to do so?
(at least to get a short description to see to what the packages belong)

sudo dnf info $(sudo dnf -q repoquery --upgrades)

I am aware that @vgaetera 's post perfectly answers your question - I still would like to mention two dnf commands that are related and can be very useful in some situations:

See changelog(s) of packages with available updates:

sudo dnf check-update --changelogs

See type of update, related bugs, and a description of available updates:

sudo dnf updateinfo --info

For more, check out the docs: DNF Command Reference β€” dnf latest documentation
