Perhaps you could use a combination of lftp (to mirror the external
repo on one of your local servers) and then createrepo create your
own correctly set-up repo (and exposing that repo via your web server
internally) ensuring that Spacewalk can then pull in the packages
from your own repository.

I use the lftp/createrepo combo with external repos that do not
properly place the 'repodata' directory in the correct location.

Hope that helps.
