Well, rhn_channel.update_needed_cache() indirectly calls rhn_server.update_needed_cache() so the fix mentioned in the bug report might very well help in your case.

I guess your only options are to wait until Spacewalk 2.4, to try out the nightly builds or to apply the patch manually to your database schema.
