popt-1.10.2.3-22.el5.i386 : A C library for parsing command line parameters.
Repo        : centos5-base-x86_64
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/lib/libpopt.so.0

this is a file from "popt" package which is in the base repository. You 
either don't have in spacewalk channel or generated metadata is wrong. 
To determine which is it, check primary.xml.gz you were talking about in 
the first message. Does it contain a reference to popt?
