Not sure what you mean appropriate folder. When you spacewalk-repo-sync
(let's assume you that) repos to Satellite, two things happen:
information about those rpms gets stored in the database, and the
rpms get stored under the /var/satellite directory. If you have
content of that original /var/satellite directory, re-running
that spacewalk-repo-sync should re-download the metadata while realize
the .rpms themselves are in /var/satellite already.
