This will not work. subscription-manager does not call through katello to get the available releases, but instead hits the CDN directly. So, unless it's possible to catch the calls to /pulp/repos and pass it to katello, there is no work-around for this.

Yes, there is a disconnect between what the user will see through subscription-manager and what katello offers up as available releases through its UI/CLI. Katello only shows the releases that have been promoted to the environment the system is registered to. Subscription-manager shows the releases that match the systems installed products.
