So, what command should work?
Either:
sudo dnf install mono --enablerepo=updates-testing
or
sudo dnf upgrade-minimal mono

is returning: 

No match for argument: mono
Error: Unable to find a match
Comment 8 Timotheus Pokorra 2018-06-19 06:04:04 UTC 
the package that has the newer update is mono-core

sudo dnf update mono-core

You can test if you already have the latest version:

rpm -qa | grep mono-core

The latest version is: mono-core-4.8.0-14.fc28
