I have encountered similar issue which is repeatable when running RHEL6 on VMware instances, with RSyslog 8.4.2.ad1, where shutdown takes a very long time and does not report the exit signal to /var/log/messages as it does on baremetal installs. The issue is that rsyslog stop/exit message only appears in /var/log/messages if started/restarted from init.d/rsyslog when having rsyslog debug env value set DebugOnDemand.
Running service rsyslog stop/start or restart will show the exit and start messages, but the next stop or restart will fail to report the exit/service stop message because rsyslog needs to be started by init, "/etc/init.d/rsyslog start" instead of "service rsyslog start", along with the debugging on demand, present but inactive. Otherwise, when rsyslog is started without debugging, or from service rsyslog start, the stop / exit message is lost, and the slowdown indicates other issues with the shutdown/processes... Are these issues already corrected in the upcoming 8.6.0 release, with announcement of bug fix for shutdown issues when running with more than one thread, or support for RHEL7 systemd, backwards compatible with RHEL6 service rsyslog scripts?
