For a particular mass M, the formula works. But in your model M increases for an expanding vacuum sphere. Do you mean to sum over the individual masses, to get the total PE? Anyway, without more information, I don't see how you can calculate the KE -- which you don't do! -- to establish the final result; net gravitational energy = zero.
