Okay, none of those two will be exported / imported as a part of
satellite-sync between two Spacewalks.

RHN Satellite is able to synchronize kickstartable trees from Red Hat
Network (official Red Hat content) or you can synchronize the official
Red Hat content between two RHN Satellites, but what you want
will not work for custom channels (and distributions).

About kickstart profiles -- these are never being exported / imported
during satellite-sync.
