I don't really understand the function of this repository, or rather why the RPMs in it are not in the standard repository?
Because there is no "standard repository" yet. These RPMs are from the next version (6.1 as we write this) which has not been published yet. CR is just a way to keep up with updates while they work on publishing Centos 6.1.
