Just restarting spacewalk will not rebuild the cache. The cache 
regenration should have started when you're centos client checked in.

check your /var/cache/rhn/repodata and the cache should be generated in 
a bit. The cache generation for repodata is triggered only when
there is a change to the channel state(through means like rhnpush, 
satsync, api or ui) or when a client checks in and cache is missing.

Check back in a bit and cache should be there,

Nop those changes are not yet in 0.5 repo. But the concern Thomas had is 
different, as I mentioned above.
