FHS says both that we must not impose any particular directory structure within /srv, and that we must use /srv as the "default location" for storing data used by services. The only way to satisfy that would be to do the equivalent of "DocumentRoot /srv" for every service, which would be simply stupid.
It doesn't say you must not have any particular defaults in srv -- just that applications must not expect it to be in any particular way. That's very different. I think it's entirely reasonable for Fedora to have a default layout, but it needs to be sure to cope properly if the local system does something different.
