I don't think Pulp will synchronize those by its own because we feed it 
with the full url of the repo (such as content/nature/ver/arch/os), but 
the listing files are in content/nature/listing and 
content/nature/ver/listing. Therefore Katello should be the one that 
should be able to push those listing files to Pulp.

The second option would be Pulp providing the lisitng "files" dynamically.
