I think this is the same issue: https://community.theforeman.org/t/katello-3-16-rc4-repository-synchronisation-issues/19593 : empty repo on second synchronization.

What I have seen is that on 3.15 the /var/lib/pulp directory contains:
0005_puppet_module_name_change.txt
assets
content
docroot
katello-export
packages
published
static
tmp
uploads

On a fresh 3.16 RC4, content is missing:
0005_puppet_module_name_change.txt
assets
docroot
katello-export
packages
published
static
tmp
uploads

On initial synchronization, all repository rpms are put into docroot and never transferred to content as in 3.15.

I hope this helps a bit.

Katello 3.16 is now using Pulp 3 so it's expected for the content folder to be missing. I have a feeling that the issue is related to a second sync causing the repo's Pulp 3 version_href to change incorrectly in Katello. The incorrect version_href would explain the empty content units for the repo. Just an idea, we'll have to test it.

Since Steven M saw this issue without touching katello_applicability, it might not be related to that setting.

After a quick check, it appears that the second sync is incrementing the version_href from version 1 to 2. The repo version 2 is empty, so no content is indexed and the repo appears to be empty. We'll just need to stop that version_href from changing incorrectly.

This is a pulp issue, we'll track this here to ensure it gets fixed in 3.16 or we add a workaround
