I have an internal procedure that reads a table using a SQL cursor. I explicitly close the cursor before returning, but it seems to be keeping a *SHRRD lock on the PF. What's the best way to eliminate this problem?

The best way is to avoid doing things restricted by *SHRRD and that's a
sincere lesson I learnt the hard way. When I start using SQL on a file,
I stop doing things like RGZPFM. What's happening here is a
pseudo-close; the machine is trying to be efficient with future use of
the same SQL statement in the same job.

Depending on how your app is constructed, you can reclaim the activation
group to hard close the cursor. Or you can use ALCOBJ ...
CONFLICT(*RQSRLS) in the job that's needing the *SHRRD, and IBM i will
do the hard close then.
