it does setup /var/lib/rkt, there's a %{_bindir}/rkt-setup-data-dir.sh that runs on %post to create the dir structure in /var/lib/rkt. Just that I excluded it from %files so that it didn't get removed if someone uninstalled rkt. Kinda like /var/lib/docker. Do we want this removed on uninstall?

It would only get removed if there was no data in it, so yes it should be in the payload.

ah yup, you're right. Reverted it.
