Hi Adrián,
The spacewalk client is yum with regards to downloading of packages. There is a yum plugin for satellite/spacewalk content. I think yum can download but not install packages, although I am not sure of this. You will have to google, a brief scan through the man page did not have favourable results though.

Regards
