ROS_DISTRO gets set by roslib:
https://github.com/ros/ros/blob/groovy-devel/core/roslib/env-hooks/10.ros.sh.em#L9
As catkin is ROS agnostic, the responsibility for setting all ROS related environment variables is isolated into environment hooks which live in roslib and are picked up by catkin. Therefore, a workspace without roslib in it will not produce ROS variables.

EDIT:
Sorry, I misread your question, ROS_DISTRO should getting set to hydro, but we have not update that line in the roslib version for hydro.
I opened a ticket about it here:
https://github.com/ros/ros/issues/10
I jumped to conclusions when I saw "empty workspace", my bad.
