Spacewalk not just install new packages but update packages as well

Before I registered the server with Spacewalk I ran yum update to get the list of available updates.  The output (ran on 8/1/2016) reported:

Transaction Summary==========================Install       3 Package(s)Upgrade      36 Package(s)

Now that I have registered the server with Spacewalk I see the following:
