Hi Kyle,
I think you have a scoping issue, try using the double colons for the
puppet class, such as 'class foreman-proxy::puppet inherits ::puppet'.
You seem to be using inheritance correctly to override a resource,
though you are doing this between two modules. This pattern should be
avoided at all costs and will likely end in tears.
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/style_guide.html#class-inheritance
Suggest that the puppet module manage the puppet.conf.
HTH,
