Set up a RHEL Host/VM, register in RHN, run something like

/usr/bin/reposync -n --gpgcheck -l --repoid=rhel-x86_64-server-6 -p 
/opt/rhn-mirror

in cron, install mrepo, run it on /opt/rhn-mirror, set up this local mrepo 
in spacewalk as base channel/repo.
Just be careful not to install spacewalk-client on the rhel machine that 
you register in RHN. A spacewalk client installation will successfully 
kill the RHEL hosts capability to talk to RHN.
I would suggest to limit the Entitlements to the RHEL channel in spacewalk 
to the actual number of your subscriptions -1 (for the host that does the 
reposync for you). Just to make sure that you do not consume RHEL 
subscriptions without paying for it.
