There was no follow-up post to his question.

I am also, on Spacewalk 1.6, trying to change the base software channel
on a activated Spacewalk Proxy 1.6 server.

You can adjust the child channels, but not the base channel.

My Spacewalk server is registered to itself within Spacewalk.  I can
change its base channels.

Is there something special about Spacewalk Proxy servers that you
cannot change the Base Software Channel?

Do I need to deactivate the Spacewalk Proxy, change the Base
Software Channel and then reactivate the Spacewalk Proxy?
