Description

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1738199

Description of problem:
yum versionlock prevents additional satellite packages being installed. The most important exhibit of the bahavior is foreman-discovery-image package.

The issue is that the new locking mechanism assumes that all packages are either installed by default or handled by installer. That is not true, the most important example is foreman-discovery-image

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.6.0

How reproducible:
deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # yum install foreman-discovery-image
Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager, versionlock
Excluding 420 updates due to versionlock (use "yum versionlock status" to show them)
No package foreman-discovery-image available.
Error: Nothing to do

Actual results:
installing of additional satellite rpms is prevented

Expected results:
user can install additional satellite rpms somehow
