Yes, it's ok to expect latest updates on server, i.e. RHEL 7.7 with python3. The problem with client is that there's often a valid reason for installing older clients, e.g. if you need to run a third party software certified only for RHEL 7.3 on it.

Thank you, valid point that RHEL7 != RHEL7. What would be the expectation of the server? To also run on 7.6?

Well, from the community project point of view (like Spacewalk) it could be more or less ok. From enterprise product POV (like Satellite 5) it is not. And the reason is that python3 has been introduced lately in RHEL 7.7 so any RHEL <7.6 client wont work.
