Give hammer host subscription attach a try. For hosts use 
subscription-manager.

Ah! This answers a question of mine from another thread.

Can someone give an example of the hammer command to update the
/etc/yum.repos.d/redhat.repo from the server?

Neither hammer repository nor hammer repository-set seem quite right.

Alternatively - and probably preferably (so that it can be scripted to run
via ansible) - the puppet command that would pull updates to the repo file?

cheers
