This has bitten a number of folks sadly. ;( 

There's a systemd update that needs a newer selinux-policy. 
Both of them went out around the same time, so normally that would be
fine. However, the systemd update needs the selinux-policy update to be
installed when it updates, or it gets confused and you see symptoms
like the above. ;( 

It seems to be the ordering is somewhat random, and some people have
rpm install the selinux-policy update first and some have it apply
after. 

You can work around it by doing a:

systemctl daemon-reexec

or just reboot as it will have the correct policy on reboot.
