They should work together as long as you have the latest PG RPMs (which
it seems you do) and a reasonably recent selinux-policy-targeted.
One problem is that selinux-policy-targeted updates don't necessarily
propagate to the security labels of the individual files. I think what
you need to do here is
sudo /sbin/restorecon -R /var/lib/pgsql
to ensure that /var/lib/pgsql and all its contents are correctly labeled
per your current installed selinux policy. The reason for thinking
this is that your error message suggests that
/var/lib/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION is labeled root:object_r:var_lib_t,
which I think is the generic default for files under /var/lib,
while in my (working;-)) install it's labeled postgresql_db_t:
$ sudo ls -Z /var/lib/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION
-rw------- postgres postgres root:object_r:postgresql_db_t
/var/lib/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION
