dnf --showduplicates list nextcloud-server sudo dnf downgrade nextcloud-server-<VERSION_BEFORE_28.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add nextcloud-server
Downgrade risk
Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.
After downgrade
Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
