Forgot to mention this,
RHEL 6.8, it doesn't matter if you run createrepo prior to importing it to
cobbler.

I finally figured out the issue. There was no problem after all.
There was
a step that I did not mention prior to importing the distribution
Installed cobbler server on RHEL 6.8
Installed the latest version of cobbler from EPEL 2.6.11
Imported RHEL 7.0 and 7.2 distributions from the binary DVD.
Loop mount the DVD.iso
rsync it to a directory served under DocumentRoot of the apache
Ran a "createrepo" against that directory ( I do this so that I can use
this as a repository for other servers in the network )
Then did a cobbler import
Made a kickstart file as follows, slight changes from RHEL6
That createrepo was the problem ! I did an import before that and it
worked with all kind of kickstart files...
Sorry, bad me ..
