Observed that list available was successfully listed ,even with a bad baseurl configuration.  Based on the observation moving the bug to verified.

Additional note :
===============
During the verification, made sure that dnf plugins are used but even then package profile upload error message "@profile.py:81 - Unable to create sack object: Failed to download metadata for repo" was not appearing on  rhsm.log. Discussed with dev team and came to a conclusion that above steps are enough to verify the fix on rhel 7.
