I deleted all packages in the RHEL5 channel and re-synced with my RHEL5 base repository, so there should not be any CentOS packages at all there. I use the rhn-clone-errata.py script to sync erratas, but just RHN erratas, no CentOS.

Assuming I read that correctly. Or at least that is my experience. I think they will only be orphaned if they ended up in no channels. If this is not the case I would be grateful for an explanation how this works as well. I know that in SW 1.4 unless you use the GUI to submit errata packages will be cross posted to every channel to which the errata applies. That is, if errata BAZ applies to channels FOO and BAR and packages X and Y yet X only exists in FOO and Y in BAR after submission of the errata X and Y packages will exist in both FOO and BAR even if the package has nothing to do with the channel. Other than that I personally have never seen packages leak into or get cross posted.
