spacewalk-repo-sync and "--latest" do not show latest packages....

[marmau06]

Problem description

spacewalk-repo-sync and "--latest" do not show latest packages....
and seems to only show one version for each package..

Steps to reproduce

1.For example, for RHEL8 repository, use "spacewalk-repo-sync and "--latest"

Here we can see only kernel-4.18.0-553.el8_10.x86_64.
2. looking for kernel packages files, we can found a lot of files, including "4.18.0-553.16.1.el8_10",

3.Once spacewalk-repo-sync has been used without "--latest", Uyuni proposal is bigger (209 kernel packages instead of three), and include the latest version of kernel:

Useful logs

No log to provide...

Additional information

We tried to upgrade Uyuni to the latest version (2024-07) just to see if this behavior is still present... We got other big issues with spacewalk-repo-sync command, which do not work anyumore for other reason...
So we have the workaround to remove the "--latest" switch to the command used, but it seems that "latest" package is not well managed by Uyuni.
