This sounds like an issue with selinux permissions on the authorizied keys file or path to it. Configure sshd to run in debug mode by setting LogLevel DEBUG3 in sshd_config, restart the service and retry. The logs will show up in journal and in /var/log/secure pointing the reason why your key was rejected.
