      Description of problem:

      satellite-installer is not updating os distro description of the satellite itself

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

      6.14

      How reproducible:

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Install RHEL 8.7
      2. Install fresh Satellite 6.14 and run the initial installer combination
      3. Check the fact value of the satellite host (All hosts - satellite.name.com)
      4. Yum update OS to 8.9
      5. Rerun the installer satellite-installer, satellite-installer -S satellite
      6. Check the os fact value again it is still on the previous version and not
      showing 8.9

      Actual results: OS fact is not getting updated no matter what combination to run.
      However, the installer log shows it's grabbing the values correctly, but they are not reflected on the web GUI.

      Expected results: webgui should show the latest OS version.

      Additional info:

      We need to clarify why removing the satellite as a host is not recommended.
      Documentation says only this and nothing more.
      ~~~
      WARNING
      Satellite Server is listed as a host itself even if it is not self-registered. Do not delete
      Satellite Server from the list of hosts
      ~~~

      a. Why it's created in the first place?
      b. Why it's not recommended to delete it?
      c. Removal and rerun installer recreates the host record with the correct OS fact, assuming it's not the correct way because host id is changed. Are there any negative effects of this?
