Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1264729
Description of problem:
There is difference in content, when we are creating content view on day D with exclude filter F and another version published after the (D+n days) with exact same filter F. Ideally the content for both the version should be the same. As this is how customer maintain their environment like TEST/DEV/PROD baseline.

All of below mentioned Erratas are having change in 'Last updated on', which means 'Issued on' date is not same as 'Last updated on' date. So consider below scenario,

RHBA-2015-0005 :
Issued on: 2015-01-05
Last updated on: 2015-07-22

We created content view on or before '2015-01-05'(Issued on) with Errata exclude filter. The exclude filter excludes Erratas which are released after '2015-01-05'. This means I am including above Errata to content view. Without changing anything in filter I publish content view again on or after '2015-07-22'. As we have added new packages in same Errata now I have new versions of below packages in content view,

gdbm 1.8.0 37.el6
gdbm 1.8.0 38.el6

When maintaining package base lines these packages are not tested and even system updates to latest version because those are now available in content view. If I check spacewalk-clone-by-date utility of Satellite 5.x then it does provide option to consider 'Last updated on' instead of 'Issued on' date when creating clone channel, which may help in this case. On Satellite 6 how we can workaround this situation where we are updating Erratas itself with new packages and we don't want those new packages in content view ?
