My understanding is that satellite-sync does not work with Sapcewalk but I'm not 100% on that.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/ is the location for EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux), not for RHEL. a minute or two after clicking sync repo, do a 'ps -ef | grep sync' to see if you have any spacewalk-repo-sync processes running. I think the logs are under /var/satellite/sync_repo or something similar. I ended up using mrepo to do this but I was less than happy with it.
