It’s be helpful if you could provide this as text rather than a picture, but from what I can see it appears to be replacing packages with newer ones.
Here is the output as text, and is there a way to see the installed version of the package along the new version that will be installed?

Ah, I can see how the phrasing might be alarming. Don’t worry — the newer packages are indeed being installed and will replace the older ones.
In the case of grub-tools this is happening due to a name change — from the name I guess a smaller set of tools is installed by default now.
For the kernel headers, it’s that way because multiple kernel versions can be installed at once.
Neither of these is anything to worry about — although if you do happen to have a use for some of the specific grub tools you might want to check to see if they’ve been moved to a new package you might want to now add.

It looks like the grub tools are slized up in different packages:
sudo dnf list grub2-tools"*"

Do you mind explaining what you mean by that?
There are no problems to have those four packages installed and updated, although you probably would not need the grub2-tools-extra and the grub2-tools-efi packages.

The grub2-tools packages was split up into four packages many releases ago. Since then you had these obsoletes
[vek@newbox ~]$ rpm -q --obsoletes grub2-tools-minimal-2.06-88.fc37.x86_64
grub2-tools < 1:2.06-88.fc37
[vek@newbox ~]$
That was done to make sure that grub2-tools-minimal got installed in addition to grub2-tools after the split.

I tried to say the same as you did, I just made a typo 
instaed of sized slized.
And then the grub2-tools as one got obsolete. Right?
