I found the culprit.  I thought I would post my findings for posterity.

Following the /var/log/messages file on the rhel6 managed host:
Nov 10 15:18:58 ansibletest-rhel6 sssd: Starting up
Nov 10 15:18:58 ansibletest-rhel6 sssd[be[nspnet.net]]: Starting up
Nov 10 15:18:59 ansibletest-rhel6 sssd[pam]: Starting up
Nov 10 15:18:59 ansibletest-rhel6 sssd[nss]: Starting up
Nov 10 15:19:00 ansibletest-rhel6 ansible-command: Invoked with warn=True 
executable=None _uses_shell=True _raw_params=authconfig --enablesssd 
--enablesssdauth 
--enablemkhomedir --update removes=None creates=None chdir=None stdin=None
Nov 10 15:19:00 ansibletest-rhel6 sssd[pam]: Shutting down
Nov 10 15:19:00 ansibletest-rhel6 sssd[nss]: Shutting down

You notice sssd does indeed start, but after authconfig it shuts down 
(unexepcted).  Here is what my handlers file looked like:
---
# handlers file for ldap_users
- name: restart sssd
  service:
    name: sssd
    state: restarted
    enabled: yes
    pattern: /usr/sbin/sssd

- name: authconfig update
  shell: "authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --enablemkhomedir 
--update"
  ignore_errors: yes
  changed_when: false



I reversed the order and it works fine now:
---
# handlers file for ldap_users
- name: authconfig update
  shell: "authconfig --enablesssd --enablesssdauth --enablemkhomedir 
--update"
  ignore_errors: yes
  changed_when: false

- name: restart sssd
  service:
    name: sssd
    state: restarted
    enabled: yes
    pattern: /usr/sbin/sssd
