This is not correct. RedHat base RHEL on a previous version of Fedora (RHEL 6 is based off Fedora 12 + bits from 13 and 14), which they freeze and tweak and, more importantly, certify for some applications and offer support for a lonnnnng time.
CentOS base their releases on the RHEL sources and mirror as closely as possible the upstream packages.
It works like this Fedora -> RHEL -> CentOS
You can usually install Fedora packages on CentOS but only if they were released near the same time.

Cool info, I definitely didn't know Fedora was upstream from Redhat, although now that I think about it, it makes pretty damn good sense. Cheers!
