Well, there are limits to the updates. It's not quite like a rolling release in that some software will get minor release updates, but not major ones (like GNOME is frozen on version 43 for Fedora 37 and 44 on 38 respectively). The software that typically gets major updates are the kernel and applications. So it's basically a range of updates.
Once the release goes out of support, it won't get any updates either. In a rolling release, you have no actual versioning of the distro itself, and it can perpetually go on with updates forever. That's not going to happen in Fedora Linux. You still have major point releases of the distro itself.
