I've seen this happening, when permissions and/or ownership of ssh-related directories were too open or incorrect[1].

To remedy this, try to boot from another medium (dvd/usb), mount your / (and /home) and check permissions/ownership of /etc/ssh/* and /home/<users>/.ssh.

What I also experienced, was being unable to initially log-in with SELinux enabled, seemingly because SELinux was broken after upgrades.
There, I first had to boot with SELinux disabled (Adding selinux=0 to the grub-prompt) to get into the machine, issue a "touch /.autorelabel" and reboot.

[1] Seems to me as if previous Fedora versions allowed to set them to what ssh nowadays considers "too open" and upgrades carried these over.
