I have upgraded to Fedora 22 (yesterday), but the flash plugin in the system is version nr 11.2.202.554. The file for Flash is in /etc/yum.repos.d/ . The plugin was automatically updated in the middel of desember. Is it anything more I shall do to get the latest plugin update?

Adobe Flash plugin from Negativo17's repo
Remove your older plugin.
dnf remove name-of-adobe-flash-plugin-package-on-your-system
Add Negativo17's Adobe flash plugin repo.
dnf config-manager --add-repo=http://negativo17.org/repos/fedora-flash-plugin.repo
Install flash plugin(install one or the both depending on your usage)
dnf install flash-plugin.x86_64
dnf install flash-plugin.i686
setsebool -P unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition=off
Where did you install the package? The package should contains adobe or flash. Then you can do rpm -qa | grep -i flash-plugin. You might have to replace flash-plugin with adobe or flash if flash-plugin doesn't yield anything.
mmm I prefer fresh-player-plugin... why? because I use Pepper (the name of flash plugin in Chrome). February 22, 2012 "Adobe will continue to provide security updates to non-Pepper distributions of Flash Player 11.2 on Linux for five years from its release." well 2016, 4 years... Installation??
When doing "dnf update" the flash plugin should be updated to version 11.2.202.559. If this does not work, and "dnf info flash-plugin" still shows that only 11.2.202.554 is installed, try "dnf clean all" plus "dnf update". On Fedora 22 dnf is a little bit nasty, on my system it haven't updated anything unless I have done a "dnf clean all" right before. (These problems with dnf seems to be fixed in Fedora 23.)
If this does not help, please show the output of "dnf repolist".

I found out it happened because the plugin was updated while Firefox was running, and the pluginreg.dat got corrupted. So I rm ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/pluginreg.dat, and now the correct and version of flash-plugin is showing in the plugin page of Firefox. Thanx for new ideas about this.
