Steps to retest:
1. Go to settings and turn rhel download policy to "Immediate"
2. Enable RHEL8 and RHEL7 repos
3. Drill into the product -> <product> -> <repo> page
4. Change the mirroring policy to "additive" for both repos(this will open the "retain package versions" field
5. Edit the "Retain package versions" field to 1
6. Save repo and perform sync

Expected:
Syncing should complete relatively fast and the number of packages should be reduced significantly

Actual:
Syncing completed relative fast (about 10 minutes) and the number of packages is reduced.  For rhel8_baseos, it was 1788 rpms and rhel7, it was 5499.
