I can't reproduce it on spacewalk nightly.

My simple python test was:
import xmlrpclib
import time

client   = xmlrpclib.Server("http://localhost/rpc/api", verbose=1)
key      = client.auth.login("admin", "admin")

client.configchannel.createOrUpdatePath(key, 'configch', '/tmp/test', False,
  {"contents" : time.strftime("%s"), "owner" : "root", "group" : "root",
   "permissions" : "0644", "selinux_ctx" : "", "macro-start-delimiter" : "{:",
   "macro-end-delimiter" : ":}", "revision" : "" })


As for revision apidoc (https://your_spacewalk/rhn/apidoc/handlers/ConfigChannelHandler.jsp#createOrUpdatePath) says:
  int "revision" - next revision number, auto increment for null
