Hi Josh,
I’ve been (mostly) successfully syncing the OEL Public repos since pulp v1. The 
OEL5 repo is fairly straightforward but the OEL6 repo contains over 24K 
packages. Recently the metadata generation step of the publish stopped working 
for my OEL6 repo. I was able to fix that by reducing the number of copies of 
old packages to sync. That brought the repo down to about 15k packages.

The one oddity you have to work around is the OEL6 repo will download all of 
the packages but then fail on the Delta RPMs or Distributions  steps. You then 
just need to run a separate publish task on the repo.

I used the following command to create my OEL6 repo:
pulp-admin rpm repo create 
--feed=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64  
--remove-missing=true --retain-old-count=2 --repo-id=ol6_x86_64_latest
