Hi Albert

When you create or modify an activation key you can select the Base 
Channels it subscribes to


From the WebUI:

Tip: Choose "Spacewalk Default" to allow systems to register to the 
default Red Hat provided channel that corresponds to their installed 
version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. You may also choose particular Red 
Hat provided channels or custom base channels here, but please note if a 
system using this key is not compatible with the selected channel, it will 
fall back to its Red Hat default channel.
