      Description of problem:

      [Regression] The "hammer content-view version republish-repositories" action is not republishing repository metadata for the content-view versions in Satellite 6.14

      Till 6.13, When using that command with "--force true", It will generate two types of actions within the task:

      Actions::Katello::ContentViewVersion::RepublishRepositories
      Actions::BulkAction ( for Actions::Katello::Repository::MetadataGenerate ) for individual repos in the CV version.

      Starting from 6.14, I don't see that BulkAction task anymore and the main "Actions::Katello::ContentViewVersion::RepublishRepositories" task completes in seconds.

      This effectively makes "5.17. Republishing Content View Metadata" completely useless when CV\CCV has RHEL repos

      This is problematic in the following situations where

      • A backup without pulp was restored and CU cannot afford to perform a new version Publish for CV ( to not include any new content )
      • For some reason, the repodata was corrupted\found missing from the filesystem from within the CV versions
      • [Maybe] Disconnected satellites , where after content import, repos might be showing less count of packages ( from CVs ) and a CV metadata republish is needed.

      And the only way to fix it is by performing a new CV version Publish.

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

      satellite-6.14.0-3.el8sat.noarch
      foreman-3.7.0.2-1.el8sat.noarch
      katello-4.9.0-1.el8sat.noarch

      How reproducible:

      Always

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Install a Satellite 6.14 and Sync one RHEL repo
      2. Add the repo to a CV and publish a new version
      3. Register a system and associate it with that CV and Library env
      4. Perform yum repolist to verify the repo is visible and accessible from the client end
      5. On Satellite "rm -rf /var/lib/pulp/media/artifact/*"
      6. Repeat Step 4
      7. On Satellite:
      --> Complete Sync the repo
      --> Verify Content Checksum the repo
      --> Use hammer to republish the content-view version metadata forcefully

      8. Repeat Step 4
      9. Publish an entirely new version of the CV
      10. Repeat Step 4

      Actual results:

      Step 6: 500\502 errors by yum as repomd.xml related artifact is missing from satellite
      Step 8. Same scenario
      Step 10: Issue fixed

      Expected results:

      On Step 7 only, the issue should be fixed.

      Additional info:

      It very well could be a regression due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2184278
