And it's true, there is no package qemu installed. So, I presume that dnf found the package qemu at virt-preview, because the repository is enabled, but that it is not installed. What was the list command you used? dnf list? Or dnf list installed? Or dnf list available? If you used just dnf list, then it shows both packages that are installed and available in repositories for installation.
yup i ran dnf list, my bad i thought it was listing installed packages.
That makes sense. And it obviously worked! And I'm not saying you should never use third party repositories, just to realize that if you do, you could have problems.
So what does dnf say when you run dnf -v upgrade qemu* ?
Running this will make update all packages to 2:2.5.0-6.fc23.
From what you've posted, there is no reason that it shouldn't upgrade the qemu packages, if there are updates available. If the qemu package at the virt-preview site is blocking the update because 2.5.-6 is considered newer than the update packages version, you could turn off the virt-preview repository in /etc/yum.repos.d, run dnf clean metadata, run the transaction, and then turn virt-preview back on.
I think i misunderstand things on version numbers, thought 2:2.5.0-6 means version 2.2... From what you say i have the feeling that i might be wrong about this. I'll try to clean things but first i want to find a way to remove virt-preview packages and install everything i need manually, this is too confusing.
