I've had similar, but not exactly this problem, and found rhn support to be
friendly, if ineffective.

a) Can you manually set the software channel on the third machine from the
rhn.redhat.com user interface?

b) Have you removed the unsubscribed and inactive accounts at
rhn.redhat.com?

c) Have you tried to register the third machine using a new and unique
system name?

b) and c) go to removing systems that you may be confusing with one another.

Re: a), I have been able to manually change the channel on some accounts,
but not on others.
