Correct, if I run a second session no reboot happens:
$ systemctl reboot
User chuser is logged in on tty2.
Please retry operation after closing inhibitors and logging out other users.
Alternatively, ignore inhibitors and users with 'systemctl reboot -i'.
_But_ systemctl reboot -i does work with 2 sessions running by different users.

And yes, polkit is installed:
$ pacman -Q polkit
polkit 0.112-2
Since I also want to be ask for a password before screen locking or a
logout, I guess I'll use this or a similar scrip for fbpanel menu
entries:
$ cat /usr/local/bin/obexit
#!/bin/dash
# /usr/local/bin/obexit
obexit_version=2014.09.13
case $1 in
.lock) sudo -k echo
if [ "$?" = "0" ]; then xflock4; fi;;
.logout) sudo -k echo
if [ "$?" = "0" ]; then /usr/lib/fbpanel/xlogout; fi;;
-o|--logout) roxterm -T "Log Out" -e obexit .logout;;
-l|--lock) roxterm -T "Lock Screen" -e obexit .lock;;
-r|--restart) roxterm -T "Restart" -e sudo -k shutdown -r now;;
-s|--shutdown) roxterm -T "Shut Down" -e sudo -k shutdown -h now;;
-a|--about) echo "$0 $obexit_version Rocketmouse";;
-v|--version) echo "$obexit_version";;
*) echo Usage: obexit [OPTION]
echo ".lock xflock4 Lock Screen"
echo ".logout fbpanel Log Out"
echo "-o, --logout Term Log Out"
echo "-l, --lock Term Lock Screen"
echo "-r, --restart Term Restart"
echo "-s, --shutdown Term Shut Down"
echo "-a, --about About"
echo "-v, --version Version"
;;
esac
JFTR a user can run shutdown -r now too.
