Yeah, sorry for the confusion. I actually solved the problem. I just had to
set , yum repository checksum and repodata was populated at the correct
place which the spacewalk client was also pointing too.

createrepo -q was used with mrepo so I could later use spacewalk-repo-sync
to push the packages on the channel.

It is all working fine now.

Thanks,
