Without looking too much into SPDX license list - would some of the licenses we currently consider MIT fall under different license name under SPDX?
No, because they wouldn't have any standard name. As I understand it, SPDX has created a set of abbreviations meant to cover the most commonly-encountered license texts or license notices. Most of the licenses that Fedora classifies as "MIT" would not have any SPDX name (maybe even all but the OSI-style MIT license).
Hilariously, X.org's standard license text (as found near the top of xserver/COPYING) would match neither SPDX's "MIT" nor its "X11" license.
