That is odd, these commands do return stuff on my f12 system(s)

Looks like polkit runs in the wrong SELinux environment (do not know if this at all related though):
That might signal that some files on your system may be mislabeled (i would suggest a file system relabel just for peace of mind)

[dgrift at localhost selinux-modules]$ ps auxZ | grep polkit-1
system_u:system_r:policykit_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 root 1712 0.0  0.0 51524 3636 ?   S    12:58   0:00 /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd
