Because the remote master, being an IPA server, should have an admin 
account, so it's a known. root over ssh is not allowed in some environments.

There is a ticket open to be able to set the login to be used, right now 
admin is hardcoded.

As for the install failure you should now have the appropriate logs to 
start diagnosing what was going on in /var/log/pki.
