Hi there, 
This most likely was a issue with the data being provided to the Satellite from
the RHN Hosted cache. Is this a persistant issue, or has it gone away now? 

If you are still having this issue, please open a support ticket and inform them
of this bug report. Support will then work with you in troubleshooting this
further. 

Cliff.

Likely a dupe of bug 279371.
