I should say that I also set the external proxy URL variable in cobbler settings. Supposedly that's used for some commands. I haven't tried syncing repos over yet. However, a cobbler signature update worked fine after setting that.
I don't have my file handy, but I set the env var using the Environment directive https://coreos.com/os/docs/
latest/using-environment- variables-in-systemd-units. html So something like:
[Service]
Environment=RSYNC_PROXY=proxy.example.com:3128
...I'd propose that cobbler should add an EnvironmentFile directive to the unit file pointed to something like /etc/sysconfig/cobblerd which could be distributed empty and marked as a config file. That way these sorts of things can be done easily.

I've gotten it to work by setting RSYNC_PROXY in the cobblerd environment using the systemd unit file. But, I'd prefer to avoid modifying files installed by rpm that aren't marked as config.
