If I'm not mistaken setting the "enabled=0" won't work. If Spacewalk/Yum

You are mistaken. yum doesn't care about the source URL or whether two
or more repos use the same url.
And you are not using the same source URLs anyway: the repo files use
the centos mirrors directly and the repos provided by your spacewalk
server use your spacewalk server. Thus they are very different.
Only the repositories you configure on your spacewalk server must be
unique. But that has nothing to do what yum does on your servers.
We use puppet to remove the entries under /etc/yum.repos.d/ to avoid this
problem
Don't. Set enabled=0 to disable the repos in the local repo files.
That's how it works.

The centos-release rpm contains all the repo files. If they are missing they
are restored during the next install/update. That is standard rpm behavior for
config files in rpms.
Don't (re)move the CentOS repo files. If you don't want to use those repos, modify the
files and set all repositories in the files to "enabled=0".
Config files are not overwritten if they exist. That's the case for any config
file from any rpm.
For example, if you have installed the apache webserver with the httpd rpm you
cannot remove the welcome page by deleting /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf. It
would come back during the next update.

Hello,
I have a Spacewalk 2.9 server and a CentOS 7 client using the
Spacewalk
2.9 client. After registering the client with rhnreg_ks, I moved all
of the files from /etc/yum.repos.d to /etc/yum.repos.d.o. The "yum
repolist" command shows that I'm using the repositories from my
spacewalk server. I've noticed that when I update the client
(specifically the centos-release package), the Centos-* repository
files reappear in /etc/yum.repos.d. Is there any way to prevent this
from happening?
Thanks,
Nicole
