Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported salt cmd.run command with shell="/usr/bin/python" on the stated Salt 3000.2, Python 2.7.5, and CentOS 7 setup. Trace how cmd.run validates the shell and retrieves the root user's environment; the issue's missing expected behavior means the intended successful result must be clarified before work can be considered done.
