Updates for Fedora 34 WE Gnome 40.1 are not showing up in Terminal

Hello Fedora Team

Can anyone tell me why the updates are not appearing via the terminal? This is the fourth time that the updates are only showing up in the store, as per the attached image. Is this a bug?

GNOME Software relies on PackageKit, which uses a separate cache from DNF.
Synchronization time and mirror selection may differ, so it is normal.
In addition, you may want to force DNF metadata update:

sudo dnf --refresh upgrade

Além disso, você pode querer forçar a atualização de metadados DNF:
sudo dnf --refresh upgrade

Thank you very much for clarifying

To work around this, you can install and configure dnf-automatic which also refreshes your DNF cache (as @edsonsantos wrote above, but automatically)
