There's two possible causes I think:

 1. The yum cache on the client side hasn't been refreshed yet so it's
    using old data when trying to do the updates. You should be avble to
    fix this by running "*yum clean all*" on the client and trying the
    update again (or yum check-update on the client)
 2. The repository cache on the spacewalk server side hasn't been
    rebuilt. Normally this gets rebuilt automatically after a little
    time (usually max 1 min), and is triggered by the taskomatic deamon.
    You can check the last repo change and rebuild dates in the
    webinterface by going to *Channels > Software Channels > channelname
    you want* and looking at the "Last Modified" and "Last Repo Build"
    times. They should be fairly close to each other.

    If they haven't been rebuilt chances are the taskomatic daemon has
    crashed due to a bug and needs a restart.

Jeremy
