The inconsistency in the behaviour between UI and API should now addressed by https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/28644 .

So the reason you see a noarch in the "Sync Status" page is because we could not decipher the arch when we created the repository. Investigating further I noticed the subscription manifest should have arches listed for each content, but the problem is that there can be multiple arches associated to the same content and hence we are back to the same boat. In some cases there may zero arches even from the content.

I am open to alternatives to "noarch", may be "Unknown". Just that it will need a non trivial migration script to update the arches en masse.

I think I'd prefer "Unknown" or "Archtecture not set" or whatever, as "noarch" is a valid "arch" in RPM terms.
But if it's too much work, so be it.

Given that without your fix from #28644, most repos actually will have an arch set, we probably could get away with no migration and just sorting the newly enabled repos into the "Unset arch" bucket, leaving the old ones in x86_64 etc?
