Yes, you can sync more external yum repos into a single spacewalk channel: Channels > Manage Software Channels > "your_channel" > Repositories and check as many as you want. But frankly I don't know a good reason why one would do it. On the other hand I remeber couple of times centos people put the same package - same name-epoch-version-release but different build time thus different checksum - into base and updates. And having two version of the same package in the same channel makes anaconda cry and die (during kickstart).
