Well, I am not sure, whether you can download an RPM via xmlrpc from RHN.
If you need the rhel6 rpm on your registered rhel6 server, why don't you just use:
$ yumdownloader avahi-0.6.25-15.el6.x86_64
Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.
avahi-0.6.25-15.el6.x86_64.rpm | 218 kB 00:00
$
If you want to download packages using xmlrpc, you can do it from your Spacewalk server (but not from RHN).
Check packages.getPackage and packages.getPackageUrl api calls on
https://<your_spacewalk>/rhn/apidoc/handlers/PackagesHandler.jsp
For examples how to use API, see:
https://<your_spacewalk>/rhn/apidoc/scripts.jsp
