dnf update will eventually update the libreoffice that is 
in the Fedora/Redhat repos when they are updated.

As I understand it, you would need to download and 
repeat process to update libreoffice versions.

I use a little script after downloading the lastest update 
and help gz files.

newlib=$(ls -1 LibreOffice_$1*.gz |tail -n 1 | cut -f1,2 -d_)
mkdir $newlib
cd $newlib/
for a in ../$newlib*.gz ; do tar xvf $a ; done 
for a in $(find . | grep "\.rpm") ; do mv $a .; done
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
tar -Jcvf ../$newlib.xz *.rpm
rm l*.rpm -f
rm LibreOffice_$1* -R -f
cd ..
rmdir $newlib

If you have installed the help, the upgrade gives an error 
if the new help files are not installed at same time. If you 
just install without help, you can just do the rpm update.
I like to create an archive of rpms to then copy to other 
machines..

So make example is what I use, but you may want to do 
something different.
