CentOS has been criticized heavily earlier this year, mainly because of the big delay their distribution normally has (compared to the original RHEL releases).
One of the problems that comes with this delay is that security fixes that RedHat writes for their latest release are unavailable for CentOS users until the CentOS project finishes their work on the latest version.
To solve this problem in the 6.X versions, CentOS has created a ‘Continuous Release (CR)’ repository.
The CR repo for CentOS 6.0 contains package ported from RHEL 6.1. That way, CentOS 6.0 users get 6.1 (security)fixes while the CentOS team is working on the 6.1 version.
The problem and solution are explained in detail here: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR
