Red Hat can't impose restrictions on rights granted by GPL. But they are well within their rights to terminate business relationships with partners who chose to re-publish sources.

I don't know what the current situation is but Grsecurity operated under a similar arrangement back in the day.

That means we just need a large number of disposable contributors/accounts, who download the RHEL source and republish it?

BTW, how could Red Hat identify the person who "leak" the source in the internet?
