Sensu puppet doesn't work correctly if started from crontab: "Package[sensu-plugin] has failures"

I'm using sensu-puppet with client/server configuration. If the client is started from the command line, which should update 1 check, it is working correctly:

However it the same operation is started from crontab, it doesn't work. There are a lot of messages like Dependency Package[sensu-plugin] has failures: true:

puppet module upgrade sensu-sensu
puppet generate types --environment production
