No, not directly, I think.

You would have to search for the name of the system within spacewalk *before* you try to add it. Then, in case there is, could generate a *re-provision* key for that system and use that for the registration.

Or, much simpler, spacewalk has a systems view with *outdated* systems. You can check these and remove them.
