I also couldn't find kpeoplevcard in the Fedora repositories. Looks like 
there's some kind of unresolved discussion about how it should be 
packaged: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2041267

I built it from source. It's pretty small and easy to build and only 
depends on packages which are available in the repos. You can do 
something like:

mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
git clone https://invent.kde.org/pim/kpeoplevcard.git
cd kpeoplevcard
mkdir build
cd build

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ~/src/kpeoplevcard/
(sudo dnf install kf5-X-devel packages until it stops complaining)
make -j8
sudo make install

Thanks,
Simon
