We host a Debian mirror that's pushed; the upstream mirror
connects to us using an SSH key that then triggers a script that
does the sync.

I would certainly be happy with CentOS doing something similar
(subject to some concerns about syncs interfering with one
another).  I would be less enthusiastic about setting up and
maintaining an rsync server that an upstream mirror could sync to
directly.
