Yes, they can be ignored.

Better yet, enable SELinux and put it into Permissive mode. It won't
affect operation of the system but errors (operations which would be
blocked with Enforcing) will be logged into /var/log/audit/audit.log.
You can then report them and help us polish whatever parts of the
SELinux policy needs polishing.

There's more info about Spacewalk and SELinux on
