[Spacewalk-list] yum does not see updates

[miller3489 at comcast.net]

Hello everyone, I am new to Spacewalk/Linux OS, so forgive me I do not know certain languages or expressions used by the forum, I will catch on very quickly. I have installed RHEL 6.4 x86_64 and Spacewalk 2.0 which is in my test environment being used to service clients that are RHEL5.9 and 6.4. On the server I created two separate base channels to handle my clients, channels are sync and packages are uploaded in them. My clients are registered to Spacewalk and I am able to provide an initial update to the clients of just 6 packages only. However, I can see there are many more packages there that the clients should be able to retrieve. Yum update does not see the other packages. Here is my question: What did I miss during my setup? How to I fix it so the clients or yum recognizes the missing updates and errata. Thanks 

Running rhn_check -v -v -v –v neted the below results:
