This is not first package which we put into Epel. There is already dozen 
of others.

Since the open sourcing RHN Satellite as Spacewalk we said that 
Spacewalk want to be part of Fedora. And we are slowly fulfilling this 
wish. You can see the  progress on:
  https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/GettingPackagesIntoFedora
Every package which pass the review is built into F-10, devel, EL-4, EL-5.

Unless something will change we will continue in this. If you disagree 
or have questions ask on spacewalk-devel at redhat.com.

Back to your question:
 >IIRC this would conflict if a EPEL user tries to install RHN satellite.
One of the basic requirements for RHN Satellite is to have only @base 
installed. Nothing more. If you enable epel repo for RHN Satellite, I'm 
sure bad things will happen. For example in epel is package 
perl-Class-MethodMaker-2.08-4.el5, but RHN Satellite (5.2.0-) expects 
perl-Class-MethodMaker-1.x and monitoring will not work with 2.x version 
of this packages.

I'm sure few others conflict can be found. So Epel and RHN Satellite 
really do not likes each other.
