Are you syncing with the "-n" option? That will restrict the new channel to only adding the latest version of each package, instead of all versions. There is a corresponding checkbox in the UI if you're triggering the sync via the UI.

Note that the -n option doesn't remove older versions of a package from a channel, so your old channel could have 3000 packages because there is a lot of older versions.

Having said that, without knowing what the upstream repository is or how it's being synced, I can't really answer why there's such a large difference. If the same repo is used for both old and new channels, you should get the same amount of packages (modulo the -n exception above).

Cheers,
Avi
