Sure, but that requires duplication of content to a degree, i.e. RHN is mirrored by mrepo and then pushed/synced into Spacewalk. If you're happy with this setup, you could absolutely use mrepo to sync the Oracle sources as well.

I actually submitted a pull request to add ULN support to mrepo[1], but it hasn't been accepted yet. I'm not sure any further development is being done on mrepo.

However, mrepo is not capable of syncing errata information, so I would recommend syncing the Oracle repos directly from ULN or public-yum.oracle.com to simplify the consumption of errata information directly from Oracle.

Cheers,
Avi
