Well, clearly Spacewalk cannot be helpful in that situation because
you don't have the machines registered to the Spacewalk server. You
are in the "getting it set up so that it works for future operations"
stage. People who kickstart/provision new machines via Spacewalk don't
hit the problem because they will be able to setup the infrastructure
(installation necessary packages) as part of the provisioning.

In the future, once you have your machines managed by Spacewalk, you
will be able to achieve similar goal via WebUI or API, in one place
(on the Spacewalk server), and have it automatically done on all your
registered systems.

It has WebUI and API for centralized management of dozens of thousands
of systems. You does not.

Better than ... ?

Well, the situation you are in (a need to do certain action on all of
your machines) is clearly something that you can do with Spacewalk,
and judging by your struggling with the initial setup task now, you
don't really have any alternative solution available.
