First try to run rhn_check after the reboot on the client.
This command updates the data on the spacewalk server including the uptime.
The problem: with rhnsd this is started 1-6 hours after the reboot for the 
first time.
I provided a script which send the only the uptime data directly while 
starting rhnsd, but this was rejected.

Another possible problem could be a timezone problem while comparing the 
install date of affected packages with the uptime.
Also little differences in the time between client and server could be the 
reason for your problem. Please use ntp if you are not yet doing it.
