Oh ... so we are totally synced (pretty much the maximum allowed by trademark law) ... and we remain that way (at least in the base and updates repos) all the time.
If you compare the centos-announce list:
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/
with the RHEL-4 errata list:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel4as-errata.html
You will see that security updates are done, usually within 24 hours, of any security release upstream.
When the Quarterly updates are done (now 2-4 times a year), we release the Security updates (RHSAs) immediately ... the Re-spinning of the ISOs usually takes 1-2 weeks to totally test out and release.
This makes the most sense, leveraging on LNAELV AMAP, but I was unclear from reading the 4.n blurb on the website, thanks.
William (and everyone else too)
I have been reworking some of the info on the website (FAQs, About CentOS, etc.) ... is it more clear now?
