Don't take my word for it.  Take a look at /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d.
 50-localauthority.conf disables authorization with the root password, while
60-desktop-policy.conf authorizes users in the "wheel" group.  You can't get
PolicyKit auth with the root pw without deleting/overriding these two files. 
The former is shipped in the polkit package while the latter is shipped in the
polkit-desktop-policy package brought in by most Fedora DEs.

I just tested, and my sudo-enabled account requests my own password when
running "pkexec echo foo" and fails with the root password, while a vanilla
account on my system fails completely.
