FWIW, I have an F28/xfce system installed in a VM.  It uses lightdm

root       776     1  0 05:54 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lightdm
root       876   776  0 05:54 tty1     00:00:10 /usr/libexec/Xorg -core 
-noreset :0
-seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt1 -novtswitch 
-background none
root      1058   776  0 05:54 ?        00:00:00 lightdm --session-child 12 19

The only "pam" packages installed on the system are...

gnome-keyring-pam-3.28.2-1.fc28.x86_64
pam-1.3.0-10.fc28.x86_64
systemd-pam-238-8.git0e0aa59.fc28.x86_64
pam_krb5-2.4.13-9.fc28.x86_64
fprintd-pam-0.8.0-2.fc28.x86_64

So, it seems to me, something else you've installed on your system pulled in
pam-kwallet and it isn't lightdm.

Maybe try removing it to see what else it tries to remove?
