apologies the bug being that you need the epel repo for just one package. some servers are behind firewalls and draconian security policies that cannot allow it to either add a new repo or get onto the internet. my ask is to push to have this rpm package added to the base repo OR even better add it to the spacewalk-client repo.
I assume this change is not going to be implemented. Therefore, proposing closing with NOTABUG.
There's no way how we can push this into RHEL/CentOS/spacewalk-client repo and not being forced into taking ownership of the package, which is something we don't want to do.
