Where do you run spacewalk-channel? On Spacewalk server or client
connected to it? 
spacewalk-channel is _client_ side command to show which channel from
spacewalk server client is using.

satellite-sync command is for synchronication packages from another Spacewalk
server. (Or from Red Hat Network if you have a proper certificate. This
certificate is a part of Red Hat Satellite subscription.) Moreover it's
been obsoleted (and replaced by cdn-sync) because Red Hat Network is
going to be shutdown soon.

The common way how to download packages to Spacewalk server is
spacewalk-repo-sync command.

So you have Red Hat Satelite server (which version?) and the Spacewalk
server is registered to it?
