I'm out of the loop, what's going on?

RedHat, the first billion dollar open source company gets bought by IBM and goes closed source.

That is not rly correct. They provide the source code if you subscribe which is enough to honor GPL. The part about not distributing the code and not building a fork / competitor is against the GPL. GPL would even be honored if they print out the code and sent it to you per mail after you asked for the code. GPL does not mean you have to host the code on a public site.

I hope there'll be an update to the GPL after that.

Could one of their subscribers just publish it once they got ahold of it?

they’re putting their code base behind a paywall only for those who’ve paid for a RHEL license, effectively killing all downstream distros.
