Apologies for replying to this old thread, but unless I'm mistaken, this is still a problem.  More recently, there were two blog posts from Red Hat that extolled the virtues of adding the EPEL repository into Satellite:

https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/epel-8-repo-satellite-6

https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/whats-epel-and-how-do-i-use-it

Apparently, however, at least based on our own experience, this is still a problem with RHEL7, 8. Is there anything new on this topic?
