Description of problem:
Running foreman-rake katello:reimport script will cause Katello to index duplicate YumMetadata files into the content view repositories. These duplicate entries will cause Katello to incorrectly think the content has changed when publishing new version of the content view (matching_content: false). After that, Katello will trigger a capsule sync even the repositories aren't really changed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a content view with 1 repository (any repo with productid file). Publish the first version.
2. Create a composite content view with only the content view above. Publish the first version.
3. Now run the following command

1. This will take some time as it will import all types of content
   foreman-rake katello:reimport

1. for quicker, you can just run the following:
   foreman-rake console
   Katello::YumMetadataFile.import_all
   exit

4. Now publish the 2nd version of the CCV.

Actual results:
24: Actions::Katello::Repository::CheckMatchingContent (success) [ 0.29s / 0.29s ]
---
checksum_match: true
matching_content: false <========= Even the content is not changed.

Capsule sync is also triggered.
