Since the release of RHEL7 I have seen this happen multiple times on
the Workstation product. I have opened two tickets with Red Hat
support, called and reported it to customer service, reported it on
IRC in #rhel multiple times, and there is a thread on the forums about
why Red Hat doesn't seem to be able to monitor the CDN for these
failures without us notifying them about the missing updates every
time something goes wrong.

I'll bet if you clean out your metadata and download fresh metadata
from the CDN you'll see that the channels affected by this errata are
still giving you metadata generated prior to Aug 29.

I also have a satellite server and it has reliably received all RHEL7
updates so this does seem to only be a problem with the CDN.
