Probably because the specified file wasn't found by the firmware on
partition 1, so it removed what it thinks is a bogus entry. Just a
guess.

The proper command in this case is

efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sda -p 2 -L CentOS -l \\EFI\\centos\\shim.efi

efibootmgr -v is more rewarding

Looks fine. But notice the boot order:
BootOrder: 0003,2002,0002,3002,0001,2001,2003


That puts Fedora in 5th place. You need to use efibootmgr -n 0001 to
do a one time boot of Fedora at next boot; or you need to use
efibootmgr -o and explicitly change the entire boot order, separated
by commas.

I have no idea what RC at the end of these lines means though.
