AFAIK there isn't a "Fedora wallet system" as such. If there were, we might
have some coherence. As it is, there are two systems which don't get along,
the Gnome keying and the KDE wallet. Since Fedora is a Gnome system by
default, the keying is the one used by Gnome apps and is largely invisible
to users. KDE users tend to have more trouble, especially if using a Gnome
app such as Evolution.

Kwallet supports multiple wallets so "normal" is in the eye of the beholder.

That would depend on what's in it. Just delete it and see if any app
complains. If it does, it will recreate the wallet as long as you have
noted the entries.
