No, it shouldn't, since both eventually apply different iptables
rules.

Unless I have severely misunderstood the whole concept, firewalld
relies on iptables.

Btw: shorewall is great, have been using it a long time (with some
minor modifications). Just disable firewalld entirely and keep
shorewall, firewalld won't protect you anyway if not configured after
install. An "iptables -L" after a fresh F21 install shows no
protection.
