The same problem appears to exist with fedora-release-30-0.18 from Koji.
This is not a bug, the mechanism has changed. Only one is expected to be installed on the system at this time. The previous behavior of allowing both was confusing to users and introduced considerable complexity and fragility to system installation. The real bug is DNF's handling of non-mandatory comps entries, so I'm marking this a duplicate of that bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1649921 ***
