It does not look like that the current up2date, i.e.
up2date-4.3.46-1,  comes with /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources although 
/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/sourcesConfig.py has this code in it:

global sources
sources = None
def getSources():
    global sources
    if sources:
        return sources
    scfg = SourcesConfigFile(filename="/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources")
    sources = scfg.repos
    return sources

I have no idea if this is like it should be or this is a packaging bug.
