Because it's an optional module. ;)

pk = PackageKit

# rpm -qf /usr/lib64/gtk-3.0/modules/libpk-gtk-module.so 
PackageKit-gtk3-module-0.7.4-4.fc17.x86_64

Often one can find related packages with a Yum/repoquery search:

# repoquery --whatprovides 
\*pk-gtk-module\*PackageKit-gtk3-module-0:0.7.4-4.fc17.x86_64
PackageKit-gtk3-module-0:0.7.4-3.fc17.x86_64

# yum whatprovides \*pk-gtk-module\*
[...]
