I think what you have done is add the class 'pe_repo::platform::el_5_x86_64' to the list of those *available* for assignment to nodes. The number 0 to the right of it is the number of nodes to which this class has been assigned, I believe. You should be able to verify that by clicking on the class name in that "Classes" panel to bring up its detail page -- one of the details reported is to which nodes the class has been assigned. Your computers don't all have the same configuration requirements, and probably some have conflicting requirements. Puppet allows you to model all those possibly-conflicting configurations via modules, classes, and data, but just because Puppet *knows how* to configure nodes in a particular way doesn't mean it *should* configure them that way. You need to fill in the blanks by telling it what configuration to apply to each node (or group of similar nodes): http://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/latest/console_classes_groups.html#assigning-classes-and-groups-to-nodes. In particular, you may want to look at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/latest/console_classes_groups.html#editing-classes-on-nodes . tl;dr: go to the Nodes section of the console, select the master node (should be the only one at this point), and edit it to add the desired class to its class list.
