Your server uses the centos repositories directly to obtain updates,
i.e. it doesn't use spacewalk.
Your client connects to the spacewalk server which uses the software
channel centos6-base-x86_64. It seems your channels does not contain
current version, i.e. it probably does not sync correctly with the
centos repositories.
Make sure your software channels have repositories configured and those
repositories have syncs scheduled.
Also make sure that you not only have a base channel but also the
updates channel for the updates repository.
Why didn't you use spacewalk-common-channels to set up common channels
like the CentOS?

Hi Everyone
I’ve got a query about our SpaceWalk environment, which I have recently
inherited the administration of, so I don’t know if my query is
SpaceWalk related, YUM related or just me being stupid !!
On our SpaceWalk server we have the product NSS available at version 3.36;
[root@SERVER ~]# yum list nss

However on the client/target server we only have version 3.28 available;
[root@CLIENT tmp]# yum list nss

The problem I’m having is that when I perform a “yum update” on the
client machine the installation of another product fails as it requires
version 3.36 of NSS to be installed but it doesn’t see the same versions
of NSS available that the server sees.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why this is and how I can make the client
machine resolve the dependencies such that it can install version 3.36
of NSS ??
Thanks
Frank
