No, it does not.

If two channels have identical packages (e.g. synced from the same repo)
they are only kept *once* in the spacewalks' file-storage. The same is
not true for the database end of things, obviously.
Due to the normalized DB schema, I'd guess about 1/3 of a 'full set' of
database-entry (for a new RPM) will be present for a duplicate entry.
