I see this question was not closed ... all content in the 
[base] and [updates] archives of CentOS are straight from the 
'RHEL' side of the public SRPM store, or patched or available 
[RawHide, Fedora], or scratch packaged content to close the 
self-hosted CentOS build

centos-testing is different, as noted at:
 	http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
being 'a proving ground for packages on their way to 
CentOSPlus and CentOS Extras' Because of spotty sustained 
sources availability of some side products from CentOS 
upstream, the binaries we can provide have been 'pot luck' 
over time

No representation is made as to the venues from which sources 
for Plus or Extras are pulled, and in part some original 
content, and original stabilization [see the recent work we 
did on getting the i586 install ISO set working again in C4] 
work is done

The SRPMs behind FOSS changed licensed content made available 
in binary form by the CentOS project should be on the CentOS 
mirrors
