I noticed when I imported a load of new packages that although they appeared within Spacewalk straight away running yum from a client would say they're not there. However later the same day it worked fine so it could be that it takes a while for Spacewalk to recreate it's yum metadata files (repodata.xml and stuff under /var/cache/rhn) with the new content. Make sure you do "yum clean all" on the client to force it to download the metadata again.
