Execution of '/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/node.rb web3.example.org' returned 1; vardir /opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver doesn't show host data

I am having this exact same issue. Existing nodes are working as expect.
I am adding a new node this morning and as you very nicely put above getting the same error:

Warning: Unable to fetch my node definition, but the agent run will continue:

Warning: Error 500 on SERVER: Server Error: Failed to find bld-b-0001-la.domain.com via exec: Execution of ‘/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/node.rb bld-b-0001-la.domain.com’ returned 1:

Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog

Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

My config is the same as yours above.
I am running a slightly old puppet server:
[root@puppet ~]# rpm -qa | grep puppetserver

puppetserver -5.3.3-1.el7.noarch

Also over the last 48hrs facts and reports have stopped reaching foreman server. I check the existing node agents, they are successfully running very 30 minutes still.
