Thanks for having a look. I should have also mentioned that a yum install or yum update does successfully install the same package(s) (from the same Spacewalk repos)
Here's the rhn -vv output during an attempted update of openssl. https://paste.fedoraproject.org/314962/ Here't the package list (rpm -qa | sort) https://paste.fedoraproject.org/314963/ It does this if I try to update any package or groups of packages via scheduled action.

Also `rpm -qa | sort` might be handy.
