It can only download the content for the channel that the Cobbler server is entitled to. For historical reference, RHN mirroring support via yum_rhn_plugin was added to Cobbler because yum could easily do it. It is not one of the easiest to use features, so I am hoping that Spacewalk builds something later that addresses the need of easier channel mirroring outside of a full Satellite install.
