John, according to the Fedora Wiki, it sounds like upgrading across more 
than one release is only very briefly supported:

    "However, for the first month or so after a new release comes out, 
    upgrades from the last-but-one release to that release are 
    'supported'"

It otherwise seems to suggest that you'll need to step through 
individual releases. Ex: 23 -> 24 -> 25.

See:

1.  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade#Can_I_upgrade_from_an_End_of_life_release.3F

2.  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DNF_system_upgrade#How_many_releases_can_I_upgrade_across_at_once.3F

That said, you're also bringing non-fedora repository support into 
question, namely rpmfusion. It looks like you're getting prompted to 
accept the signing key rpmfusion uses for their Fedora 24 repository, 
which won't validate the rpmfusion packages targetting Fedora 25.

My suggestions (in order)

1. Try upgrading in steps

2. Try upgrading without rpmfusion (re-enable it afterwards)

You may also want to consider rebuilding your VM using a distro with 
longer term support, such as CentOS.
