[Spacewalk-list] yum rhnplugin disabled repos and --cacheonly

I have a CentOS 7 box with a Spacewalk subscription for repos. Some repos have
been disabled in 'rhnplugin.conf'. 'yum makecache' works fine, but 'yum -C
check-update' misses 'repomd.xml' for some disabled repos.

Same problem with CentOS 6. The error message looks like:

'Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
xxx-disabled-spacewalk-repo. Please verify its path and try again'

IMHO it shouldn't try to search for 'repomd.xml' in cache folders for disabled
repos.

Is it a bug?
