You thought correctly.
i changed pidfile="/run/nagios.lock" in init.d to

pidfile="/var/nagios/nagios.lock"

and error was gone after a reboot. After booting the lock file was created by user root, is that the normal behavior?

Glad the fixed worked for you.
The permission of the lock file looks like it is a known issue. See this link below.
