Resolution

In the error above, the GUID of the content can be used to find the owning bundle package.  Using database query, for the example above, run the following query:
 
select * from zBundle where zBundle.ZUID in (select ContainingObjectUID from zLinkedObject where ContentUID in (select ZUID from zContent where ZUID = 0x4cb28623e8b0449cb6e0bfd690d5600a))
 
Check the owning bundle content tab for primary server availability.
 
Note in the error above, the "Remote Source " is not set.  This can happen when when the content has not been packaged yet on the Primary server.
 
For a list of remote sources for content, run zac zeninfo on the Satellite server (note: Windows Satellite only).
 
In the zeninfo output, select ZENCache/ContentMgr::ContentList
