The deal is:

reposync dumps some packages in some directory.  Where doesn't massively
matter, it doesn't even matter if it's on the same machine.

rhnpush transfers these packages to the spacewalk server, where they are
secreted in /var/satellite/redhat in a structure that is not the same as
reposync will create.

You need to do both of those things, and details can vary.
