Hello Jason,

If this is reproducible, could you file a bug, please?

If you delete a package in Spacewalk, it will be deleted from the spacewalk database and won't be listed anymore.
Additionally it will be marked as orphaned package, that will be deleted from the file system by taskomatic.

spacewalk-remove-channel is most probably, what you ask for. It is part of the spacewalk-backend-tools package.
