You can't update fact information during a puppet run. Puppet either have
or don't have lsb facts when applying the catalog, installing the package
to satisfy the dependency won't help that particular puppet run (only the
next one). I also find redhat-lsb package to be hideously large dependency
for answering such a basic fact. Here's one possible work around (as long
you don't need lsbrelease): https://forge.puppetlabs.com/nanliu/lsb
