Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

This feature should be available on both a server or a node. It would allow the server or node to act as a caching proxy. For now, lets call this lazy loading. In this model, the server (or a node), would have recent copies of the metadata. However, it would not actually sync the package from the feed location until they are requested by a client. This would allow for only the content being used to be pulled down to the file system and for repositories to be created by only downloading the metadata.

Verified in Satellite 6.2 Beta Snap 6 Compose 1.

While lazy sync still has some outstanding issues, I am satisfied that is has already fulfilled this RFE.
