I wonder if enabling mod_asis on your Spacewalk and then creating

	/var/www/html/pub/upgradable_packages_for_xxx.asis:
	Status: 301
	Location: https://<hostname>/rhn/systems/details/packages/UpgradableList.do?sid=1000010166

and linking to

	https://<hostname>/pub/upgradable_packages_for_xxx

would do the trick?
