Without any logs or screenshots it's a guess.

My guess, it's mounting rootfs, runs into an errand and goes readonly. But
is still mounted. Therefore xfs_repair runs off the problem volume.

Boot using param rd.break=pre-mount

Now there is no mount of rootfs, and xfs_repair runs from the initramfs.

But 9 times out of 10, you're better off with the latest Fedora install
media (any) on a USB stick. Newer kernel and progs.

Ok maybe even 10 out of 10.
