I'd choose one package which should be upgraded but it isn't and checked which
version of the package
* is installed on client? (rpm -q)
* is in client:/var/cache/yum/<channel>/primary.xml.gz?
* What does say yum list <package> --showduplicates?
* is in Spacewalk WebUI: Systems > <client> > Software > List / Remove ?
* is in Spacewalk WebUI: Systems > <client> > Software > Upgrade ?
* is in Spacewalk WebUI: Channels > <channel> > Packages ?
* is in spacewalk:/var/cache/rhn/repodata/<channel>/primary.xml.gz?
* Do sha1sums of client:/var/cache/yum/<channel>/primary.xml.gz and
  spacewalk:/var/cache/rhn/repodata/<channel>/primary.xml.gz match?
* What timestamps are on Spacewalk WebUI: Channels > <channel> > Details > 
  Last Modified & Last Repo Build?

This should hopefully reveal where the chain break...
