Since a few days pkcon refresh and pkcon update just working under root. If I try with nemo the output is Schwerwiegender Fehler: Failed to obtain authentication.. Does anybody knows whats wrong? I guess there a problems with rights in ssu. Any idea?

My guess: some pkcon commands were considered too dangerous to allow them running as nemo.

This sounds good but why did it work without devel-su till two days ago? And why tell me some SailfishOS user that they are able to use this command without root?

Pkcon command are not allowed by nemo by default. Warehouse and/or Storeman enable this.

Recently Storeman moved away from policykit rules, in favor of mapplauncherd (see Storeman release notes 0.0.22-1). One of the consequences seems to be that pkcon is no longer allowed using nemo.
