Run yum clean all on the client, also make sure your yum-rhn-plugin package on the client is the most recent version, there are some bugs in prior versions. You could also check /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf on the client.. if there are exclude statements in there like kernel* to disable kernel updates, you'll typically see that error message.
