How many temperatures are shown in the BIOS ?
If your machine has been on a while and you reboot, what are the value
shown in BIOS vs the values shortly after booting fedora. This might
help you work out which sensor is reading what {or anything at all}.
The second issue is scaling; the sensors give a reading that software
needs to scale {maybe invert as well depending on the chip}, to legit
temperature values.
The next thing to try would be to see if opening the lid, or heating the
PC up causes the temp values to change - at all ?
$ man sensors.conf
