Well, fullinstall unlike our XI installer, does not do its own RHEL dependency checks, so this likely is from yum. Can you perform yum commands or do you normally enter something else for a satellite server? you can try:

Can you please give us the output of "yum check-update" Also are you using satalite servers or other internal package\license management?

I'm using subscription-manager-gui to register and standard repos are internal server.

OK, I think I found where you are getting hung up. Comment out line 395 in libinstall.sh. It should look like:
change it to:
You may still have issues with getting some of the packages from optional channels and outside repos if you only use internal resources, but we can deal with that as it comes along.
