I think you've been bitten by a recent bug that's cropped up
with dnf.
Yum chose the shorted name by default that met a particular requirement
so kernel-devel was chosen over kernel-debug-devel, but dnf doesn't do
this. Dnf isn't "wrong" but it does create a serious inconvenience.
In my case the machine is running the non-debug kernel but installing
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia brought in the debug headers. I installed the
non-debug headers too and now the module builds.

Checking kmods exist for 4.0.6-300.fc22.x86_64 [ OK ]
Building and installing nvidia-kmod [ OK ]
Sadly, I can't check right now whether X can now happily use the nVidia
drivers.
