Resolution

It is needed to identify, which client is having multiple Base Channels assigned. Such clients can be identified by running following command on top of SUSE Manager Server:
echo "select s.id serverid, C.id channelid, C.name, C.label, C.parent_channel from rhnserver s, rhnChannel C, rhnServerChannel SC where SC.server_id = s.id and SC.channel_id = C.id and C.parent_channel IS NULL order by s.id;" | spacewalk-sql --select-mode -

Any server ID that has more than one entry in that output should be causing the issue. Such server IDs needs to be removed from SUSE Manager Server by running:

spacecmd system_delete system_ID

Cause

For whatever reasons (in this particular case issue in the custom automation when deploying clients automatically using Ansible), clients are having multiple Base Channels assigned.
