Neal,
Bex is correct that the download server with the RPM repo and ISOs is a separate machine from the machine used to build the RPMs and ISOs. The build machine runs the latest version of Fedora and the download server runs CentOS to give a measure of LTS support while still staying within the RHEL family.
The download server could feasibly run any distribution.
Hope this clarifies.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Aidan Kahrs

My experience is that it _should not_ be anything but a Fedora system.
It should be at least be the target Fedora version or higher. Ideally,
you always run the target version's livemedia-creator+Anaconda, which
is why Koji uses mock to set up the environment and then run it inside
of there.
In addition, it's a very bad idea to recommend using "createrepo"
instead of "createrepo_c", due to the former not supporting most of
Fedora's newer RPM features and potentially weird things happening
there.
If you're using livecd-creator, you can get away with a lot more,
since you're no longer sensitive to Anaconda's fragilities and the
build engine is DNF.
