This nothing about Fedora, it's the kernel. The /sys/class/rc directory 
  is created when the kernel identifies a new device as an IR  (or RF) 
remote. The basic problem here is that this remote is identified as a 
keyboard, and thus is somewhere else in the sys/class tree (Where? Dunno).

If you cannot configure the kernel to decode this remote, you need to 
let lirc do it. It's then no point using the devinput driver, since it 
relies on the broken kernel decoding. Instead you will need to use the 
'default' driver on /dev/lirc0.  For this to work, you need to make the 
kernel accept your device as an IR remote and not a keyboard. I 
described some possible ways to do this in [1]; nothing I've done 
personally, though.
