Check for discharge and mucus if there is mucus or discharge yes bring him to the vet as soon as possible

May be dust from the hay or food, he may be cleaning more and just got fur up his nose. If there isn't any mucus or discharge other than a little bit of clear, I personally would just keep an eye on it. There has been several posting lately of rabbits sneezing the same way. Derby is a sneezer, everytime he cleans. If it continues with a discharge or more often, get him checked out.

Keep a close eye on him and if he continues sneezing/has discharge then I'd take him to the vet. If he stopped after just that one t ime, I wouldn't worry too much.

Agreed, could be dust or he just got something in his nose. Keep an eye on him for mucus around the nose and stuck to the insides of their wrists (where they wipe their faced with their paws) as signs of a more serious respiratory problem that would need veterinary care.
