Logging in via ssh as root you will be staff_r, you need to run:

newrole -r sysadm_r -t sysadm_t

It has been mentioned - your transaction broke and you probably have mismatching rpm and rpm-python.  

rpm -q rpm; rpm -q rpm-python

Download rpm and rpm-python from your favourite mirror and rpm -Uvh them as sysadm_r

id -Z will tell you what context you are in.
