I asked a similar question a few months ago: https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2015-April/msg00073.html
I think maintaining a custom_info attribute on your centrally managed /etc/shadow file is the closest and cleanest solution you will get but when you think about it, there is no good solution that can be considered a secure solution. Perhaps it's best to keep root password maintenance down at the local machine to reduce exposure.
