Cron calls directly into the repo API module, which triggers the sync itself. While this will execute in a process outside of the WSGI app, it prevents (or at least complicates) us from being able to properly throttle repo syncs since they are not all funneled through the same approach.
This is fixed by the new rhui scheduling feature.
Fixed in build 0.163.
