I'm sure I've seen this asked before...  IIRC the answer was along the lines of:

*** UNTESTED ***
---
rpm -e comps redhat-release --nodeps
rpm -ivh comps.x86_64 redhat-release.x86_64 -- must be done manually

yum update
rhn-profile-sync
---

*** UNTESTED ***

Now fix your RHN/Satellite/Spacewalk entries to ensure the system is
on the right channels (maybe this should be done first).

*** UNTESTED ***

Best idea is probably to re-install but if the system is not
important, you could try the above.

Note this is untested, if it kills your cat or eats your homework, its
not my fault.
