Jonathan, Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I have tried that and it does not work.
The steps that I have taken are: # yum clean all # cd /var/cache/yum # rm -Rf ./* # yum makecache # yum check-update With the /etc/yum/repos.d/fedora-updates.repo turned off (enable=0), I don't receive any messages stating that there are RPMs to receive and apply. If I turn fedora-updates.repo on, the I get a list. Whatever the problem is, it just recently occurred. Up until approximately a week ago, I was able to update F16 from Spacewalk without any issues. I even tried removing the spacewalk-client RPMs, re-installing them and re-registering the client. Still no luck.

I haven't upgraded to SW 1.6, but on 1.5, the yum cache for yum-rhn-plugin is not properly cleared by 'yum clean all', and it may take some time for the client to update it's cache of the available packages from SW.

If I run yum check-update, the F16 client doesn't see the available packages in the Spacewalk repository. If I logon to the Spacewalk GUI, Spacewalk will report that there are available RPMs for updating. If I activate the fedora-updates.repo and run yum check-update, updated packages are seen and reported as available for download and applying. I'm confused. I'm not seeing anything in any log files that would give me an indication that there is a problem. Of course, I may not be looking in the correct locations.
