Ok maybe I spoke too soon...
It looks like the hiera hierarchy is not seeing the custom fact and as a
result is not applying the corresponding .yaml file. I expected it to load
the hieradata\webserver.yaml file. However as the puppetmasterd debug log
shows that it skips over this and loads the osfamily .yaml file.
*hiera.yaml *

Thanks for the help!
