Frankly I don't use Packagekit. On commandline, yum is able to download
packages (from Spacewalk) to cache and then install them from cache.
I.e.
yum install --downloadonly package
yum install -C package
And even better when using Spacewalk you can shedule package updates on
(all) clients from Spacewalk web interface. Including 'download now, install
later' type of functionality.
