I agree that it's a perfectly valid setup, in fact I have my Spacewalk
instance registered to itself. I don't think that you error is related
to being self-registered.
Look in /var/cache/rhn/repodata/ on the Spacewalk server, is there a
directory / metadata files for that channel? If not, is the taskomatic
service running? Are there errors in
/var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log related to not being able to
generate the metadata?

Thanks for your reply - I did investigate whether this was recommended
prior to doing it, according to a post from someone with apparently good
credentials (Red Hat Satellite engineer) its OK to do this.

However this was a while ago and things may have changed. If this is
not what most people are donig then I'll reconsider.
Matthew:
I hadn't, I have now but sadly it didn';t help - same error in log. To
reply to your question, I have registered the spacewalk "master" server
directly to itself.

I am testing a Spacewalk 2.2 server with a connected proxy and
three hosts connected via the proxy. I can successfully update
packages both on the proxy and hosts connected though it.
I have added my Spacewalk 2.2 server to itselff, using its DNS
FQDN rather than localhost, however when I try to update
packages for it I get the following error in /var/log/up2date:
Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
centos6-base-x86_64
I have checked the httpd logs and can't spot a relevant error,
what could be the problem?

Matt
Full /var/log/up2date log:
<class 'yum.Errors.RepoError'>: Cannot retrieve repository
metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: centos6-base-x86_64.
Please verify its path and try again
