The command you need to use is:
  semanage fcontext -a -t spacewalk_data_t /var/distro-trees(/.*)?

it may take a while to complete. Aftwards run:

  fixfiles restore /var/distro-trees

You can check it worked by typing "ls -Z /var/distro-trees" and it
should look something like this:

drwxr-xr-x  apache root root:object_r:spacewalk_data_t
/var/distro-trees/rhel6-64

don't worry about the "root:object_r:" part, you just need the third
part to be spacewalk_data_t
