This is not a bad repomd file. It’s because httpd on your Spacewalk server was upgraded, but the yum-rhn-plugin shipping with Spacewalk 2.6 upstream doesn’t have the fix that works with the updated httpd. You need to downgrade httpd on your Spacewalk server.

See this thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2017-April/msg00109.html

Not sure why the upstream 2.6 client hasn’t been updated with the fix yet. We’ve fixed it in our 2.x clients (2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6). 

The bug is fixed here: https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/commit/f53a791847105cf422f9fbb41dcb41eeb018c6be

Cheers,
Avi
