Best place to look at is probably your Puppet master's puppet.conf.
Check that there is no field 'external_nodes' (normally pointint to a
script that fetches information from Foreman), only 'reports = foreman'
should be there in your case.

If this is the case already, I think you can be sure Foreman is just an
endpoint to receive reports from the Puppet master.
