Description of problem:

Upgrades are failing as see in this job:
https://prow.ci.openshift.org/view/gs/origin-ci-test/logs/periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-ci-4.13-upgrade-from-stable-4.12-e2e-gcp-ovn-rt-upgrade/1685281763175174144

The failures are consistent (have not accepted a payload in 6 days) though they are only seen in Nightly payloads, not CI payloads.

The upgrade failure occurs because the worker nodes fail to upgrade with this error:

{{"machineconfiguration.openshift.io/reason": "failed to update OS to quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-v4.0-art-dev@sha256:3d16f67befd4c592d22746a234f31d3f6b2601a22f4cc711e8808ec4ebde3c29 : error running rpm-ostree rebase --experimental ostree-unverified-registry:quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-v4.0-art-dev@sha256:3d16f67befd4c592d22746a234f31d3f6b2601a22f4cc711e8808ec4ebde3c29: \u001b[0m\u001b[31merror: \u001b[0mCould not depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected:\n Problem: package kernel-modules-core-5.14.0-284.25.1.el9_2.x86_64 requires kernel-uname-r = 5.14.0-284.25.1.el9_2.x86_64, but none of the providers can be installed\n  - conflicting requests\n: exit status 1",
}}

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

4.13-nightly

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. install 4.12 nightly
2. attempt upgrade to 4.13 nightly payload
3. See worker nodes go degraded and report the packaging conflict error

Actual results:

upgrade fails to complete due to stuck/degraded worker nodes

Expected results:

Upgrade succeeds
