Yes, from Spacewalk 2.3 and higher, or Spacewalk 2.2 provided by Oracle.

Our dbas want to upgrade all our databases to 12.1, so it would be great if we could upgrade the Spacewalk DB as well. Thanks! 

We haven't (yet) upgraded the Instant Client requirements, but the 11.2.0.4 Instant Client is 100% certified with 12c database. You continue to use the existing oracle-instantclient-11.2.0.4 RPMs on the Spacewalk server but you can switch to a 12c database on the backend.

Cheers,
Avi
