Initial installation, no. Installations of applications after a system

This is fedora we are talking about. If you stay up to date you've
replaced almost everything several times and the files are likely
scattered all over the disk.
This assertion really needs to be tested with a typical setup of two
partitions:
/
/boot
Just apply all of the updates in the order they were released, then
measure the actual fragmentation.
You could also test disk performance at various points, maybe using
Bonnie, to see what the changes are.
