Hello,

It is not a bug. perl-5.24.4-404.module_el8.1.0+229+cd132df8 is a part
of module (as the version suffix suggests). And your client does not
have this module enabled which means theres nothing to update.
Spacewalk webUI can't properly display updates for modular systems, this
is known limitation.

The different package name you see is only an inconsistency in name
formating (name-version-release:epoch-arch vs. name-epoch:version-release.arch).
 
Regards,
