I found in the installed software tab of "Ubuntu Software" app that there are two GNOME runtime versions, 3.26 and 3.28. So, should I remove the lower version? Is it OK to remove GNOME 3.28 runtime?

These Gnome Runtimes you see are installed Snap packages of Gnome runtime files. If needed, you can read here what Snap is about.

Is it OK to remove the oldest one? Fact is, you won't be breaking your system at all. Only, you may then also cause the removal of one or more Snap applications that are using these runtimes. Anyway, even that does not really harm. If at some time you find yourself missing some application, just install it again. That will also automatically bring the needed runtime in (again).
