Spacewalk development is much faster which may lead into missing features as they are not yet implemented in the version that is meant to be used with rhn.
If you have environment when you want to centraly manage your machines and installing from is only way, you want to have yum-rhn-plugin available just after kickstart. Just to be able to install package. You do not care about recent features. But I have to admit, that I do not know how many such users and environment exists.
The only option I see is to keep the rhns and spacewalk-client packages in sync, which may be the case in the near future (e.g. on RHEL 6)
Yes, keep status que and do not remove it from CentOS 6 is definitely valid option.
