The update unfortunately is still in updates-testing. Having this in sync with Fedora is currently technically impossible.

Try with:

    sudo dnf update chromium* --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing
Comment 2 SyntheticOwl 2018-06-22 19:43:29 CEST 
That worked, Thank you!  

I'm okay with running Chromium from the "testing" repo.  
But wonder, is this a permanent fix? 
Should I disable testing at some point? I assume with: 
  sudo dnf update chromium* --disablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing  
For others that might not want to enable testing for Chromium, is there an ETA for when this update will reach the normal repositories?
Comment 3 Miro Hrončok 2018-06-22 19:57:45 CEST 
Glad it worked.

The --enablerepo= option applies only when used. I.e. it doesn't enable the repo somehow for the future, but only for this particular transaction.

Usually, packages from testing go to updates in couple of days.
