Well you have a few of choices.

1. Ignore it for now, since I doubt it causes any problem.

2. Write custom policy for it.

# grep pam_console_t /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypamconsole
# semodule -i mypamconsole.pp

3. Wait for the next policy update which will write a rule to dontaudit 
this.
