There is no problem in Spacewalk but zypper. You configured the GPG
information for your channels and the spacewalk plugin for zypper
enabled the gpgcheck for the repos coming from spacewalk. If gpgcheck
is enabled for a repo, zypper expects the repodata to be signed by the
same key which was used to sign the packages (IIRC). So, at this point
you are not able to use gpgcheck with zypper/spacewalk, because
Spacewalk does not sign repository metadata.

HTH,

Mattias
