Just my two cents: Anyone thought of asking Red Hat to use documentation? I think they are getting much from the community so to copy public accessible documentation when permitted by RH could be an easy way.
Why not giving that a try?
There's no need to ask them, they've already given permission:

I'd say that's good enough.

Well then there appears to be no reason to not go with a version of my initial suggestion.
State what CentOS is and what it's sources are. State that there may be some minor divergence between the behavior of CantOS and the Red Hat documentation. You can explain why if you feel that it's required.
Attribute the documentation to Red Hat.
Provide a link to the original Red Hat documentation as required in their copyright statement.
By taking these steps we would be exceeding the requirements of the license in that we are providing the attribution and the link even though we are not distributing the document, or a modified version of it.
By providing a link to the documentation we would no more be distributing the documentation than Google would be distributing the Weather Channel by providing a link to it in their search results.
