The question Spacewalk is asking / answering when it shows you updates
available to your system is "Are there any newer versions of packages
installed on this system in channels this system is subscribed to".
In your case, if the 6.5 client is subscribed to a 6.5 channel that only
has packages up through 6.5 in it, then everything will be up to date.
The fact that 6.6 has been released somewhere else is not relevant, what
matters is what's in the channel and what's on the system.

Michael,
I'm not sure that I understand your response. The client is CentOS 6.5,
not 6.6. Yes, the Spacewalk server is 6.6, but the client is 6.5. I
purposefully chose 6.5 because its an older release and I know there are
a number of packages that would be out of date.
Thank you
Daryl

So you have CentOS 6.5 client registered to CentOS 6.5 channel in
Spacewalk.
And Spacewalk UI says it's up-to-date. Why do you think it isn't
accurate?
If you don't have 6.6 packages in Spacewalk then it can hardly know
about updates.
