I should have asked for /tmp/storage.log as well. If you still have access to that (or at least to the output of udevadm info --export-db), that will prove my hypothesis right or wrong. My guess is that your DVD drive has no ID_FS_TYPE in its udev entry, so anaconda does not know there's a DVD available for use. Lacking that information, we fall back to the network as a source of packages.
I've negelected to say that I transferred the DVD iso to a usb stick to use as install media.

anaconda does not attempt to discover installation sources on USB devices automatically - only CD/DVDs. Since it's not finding one of those and you're not telling it where, it's falling back to HTTP. You either need to add the askmethod or repo= parameters to the command line arguments.
