The above access vector (ftpd_t self:capability sys_admin;) should be allowed indeed.
You can do this by piping the AVC denial line into the imput stream of the audit2allow command with the -M option and module name parameter:
echo "avc: denied { sys_admin } for pid=1903 comm="vsftpd" capability=21 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:ftpd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:ftpd_t:s0 tclass=capability" | audit2allow -M myftpd
Then you can install the generated custom module with the semodule command with the -i option and the module parameter:
semodule -i myftpd.pp
Not the i prefix the module name with "my". This is done that this module will not overwrite the existing ftpd module.
Any more AVC denials shown?
