In Fedora there's an equal rule which substitutes /run to /var/run
before a label is generated:

   # semanage fcontext -l
   ...
   SELinux Distribution fcontext Equivalence 

   /run = /var/run

.i.e you need to specify fc rule using /var/run/... SPEC as /run/...
SPEC is overridden by the equal rule:

    # echo '(filecon "/run/myrpmvarrunt" file (system_u object_r rpm_var_run_t ((s0) (s0))))' > myrpmvarrunt.cil
    # semodule -i myrpmvarrunt.cil 
    # selabel_lookup -b file -k /run/myrpmvarrunt
    Default context: system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0

    # echo '(filecon "/var/run/myrpmvarrunt" file (system_u object_r rpm_var_run_t ((s0) (s0))))' > myrpmvarrunt.cil
    # semodule -i myrpmvarrunt.cil 
    # selabel_lookup -b file -k /run/myrpmvarrunt
    Default context: system_u:object_r:rpm_var_run_t:s0
