You'd need a copyright owner to initiate legal action. And the FSF generally is more concerned about source availability although binaries are clearly derived from source and covered by the same copyright, and I can't see any exception at least in GPLv2 about being able to put additional redistribution/use restrictions on covered binaries.
They are not restricting your right to distribute, they are restricting your access to RHN if you choose to distribute.
Which is explicitly imposing additional restrictions. Which is explicitly prohibited in section 6. I don't see any exceptions relating to what the consequences of those restrictions might be.
