Your hosts would need to be connected to the internet such that the RHN
public servers would be able to access them. Otherwise the webui would
be look but don't touch. How could a public server without access to
your internal hosts be able to deploy packages on them?
If you wanted actions to be ferried through an intermediary server I
suppose you could register your systems to rhn.redhat.com via an RHN
Proxy. Satellite doesn't do this, though.

Why? What would the function of this local repository be if the patch
sets and content would be coming via rhn.redhat.com?

I guess I'm still not completely understanding your use case for wanting
to do this. Is there some problem preventing you from using the
Satellite webui? I am not sure why you would prefer to visit
rhn.redhat.com rather than your Satellite's webui? What advantage are
you gaining there?
