Because that is how upstream FREERadius names the directory which also 
means that's the directory name RPM is going to create and install it 
under when the rpm package is installed. We don't and can't rename 
components belonging to package dependencies.

FWIW, I'm not a fan of the name either, but it is what it is :-)

P.S.: It does contain database files which is probably why it got it's 
name and yes that means according to FHS and Fedora packaging guidelines 
those files are in the wrong place :-(
