You can try to add to command line:
  --skip-broken to skip uninstallable packages

Try removing the kmod-nvidia package first.
Now try the distro sync.

Then it’s likely worthy while doing sudo akmods --rebuild --force to make sure that nvidia driver is built against distro-sync’ed state of your system.

I think i found the problem, i was using a version of nvidia that was only available in the beta rpm fusion repo. I fixed it by adding --allowerasing and it retrograded it automatically
