Have a RHEL 8.1 client registered to Satellite 6.6, go to Hosts => Content Hosts => select RHEL 8.1 client => tab Packages, choose Applicable and click on "Update All Packages"

First run: 7 packages out of 25 got updated, foreman task Actions::Katello::Host::Package::Update finished successfully.

Package profile for the client didn't get updated, still see 25 Applicable packages, yum check-update is showing 18 available updates.

Second run: Clicked on "Update All Packages", foreman task Actions::Katello::Host::Package::Update finished successfully again, very quickly, looks like nothing was updated on the client at all. yum check-update returns again 18 available updates.

Checking which message is sent to katello-agent:

while true; do cp /var/lib/gofer/messaging/pending/katello/* tmp; sleep 0.0001; done

And then click on Update All Packages, got following file, during second run:

How reproducible: 100 %

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Provisioned RHEL 8.1 trough Satellite 6.6
2. Clock on Update All Packages, task finished successfully, however only 7 packages out of 25 got updated and package profile for the client did not get updated on Satellite side, task Actions::Katello::Host::UploadProfiles finished sucessfully
3.

Actual results:

First run of Update All Packages on RHEL 8.1 client updated only 7 packages out of 25, package profile on Satellite didn't get updated. Second run of Update All Packages didn't update any package.

Expected results:

"Update All Packages" updates all packages on RHEL 8.1 :)

Note:

Checking codefix of bz1713417 : https://github.com/Katello/katello-host-tools/pull/98/files makes a different condition to call

lib.upgrade(patterns)

But in case of "Update All Packages", both patterns and advisories are empty lists. Removing the "if patterns:" condition and letting lib.upgrade(patterns) to be executed every time, packages are updated.
