You meant RHEL subscription? Or RHN Satellite Subscription?

If you buy RHEL subscription, you can download whole ISO or individual 
packages and feed them into Spacewalk using spacewalk-repo-sync.

I would like to note, that even if you redistribute those bits using 
Spacewalk to other machines, you are allowed to use it on only on such 
number of machines for which you buy subscription. There is no SW check, 
but if you use it on more machines you will break your contract.

If you buy RHN Satellite subscription you may use tool satellite-sync 
which allow you to download those bits directly from RHN.
