@Josh
How many machine do you update with this method? I use mco as well it's
not always efficient with high number of machine (expecially if they
have high load)
How do you deal with rpmdb corruption/ stuck transactions and all the
other errors that can prevent a machine from updating correctly?
Cheers

We also use Pulp in this exact way. Puppet drops down repo
definitions to each host which are associated with the host's Puppet
environment (dev, qa, prod). The repo definitions point to "snapshot"
repositories in Pulp. We promote packages up through the environments
as you are describing.
We do not use the pulp-consumer client. Instead we trigger "yum
updates" using mCollective on groups of hosts.

Your use case matches exactly how we use Pulp to manage repo contents
for a HPC cluster where a consumer service is not possible. I've had
no issues and just push out repo files for all pulp managed repos
using Puppet. Since I'm using self signed certs still in Pulp and our
network is private I made sure to serve all repos via http.

In my environment, it doesn't really make sense to have a single point
propagating changes to numerous hosts. Instead we'd opt to have the
consumers pull down from the Pulp server manually. I understand that
this hides a portion of Pulp's featureset (consumer management and
reporting) but what I'm more interested in is the ability to manually
'promote' packages into different repos with required or updated deps
on the server. Is there any downside to keeping the consumers 'dumb'
and hitting the Pulp-managed repositories manually via standard
/etc/yum.repos.d/*.conf files?
