Spacewalk does not talk to RHN.! It will not block a system from registering unless you have set a limit number on an activation key. you do this by setting the usage field on the activation key. there is also the option of setting the maximum number of subscriptions for an organization assuming you have multiple organizations configured. I use a combination of both of those to prevent various different business units within my company from just randomly installing systems without paying for support.
That said you shouldn't install Red Hat updates on a system you haven't paid for the support on. If you want a free version without support use Scientific Linux its nearly identical.
