OT because im doubting you can squeeze our bloaty friend onto such a device.... :)
I would have answered "CentOS 7 on armhfp board" but your last requirement is the one I'm not sure about : PXE boot
But it seems possible : http://linux-sunxi.org/How_to_boot_the_A10_or_A20_over_the_network
Is Hans de Goede still over at Redhat? He stepped down from maintaining Sunxi, but did major work on uboot, and this looks like something that he had a hand in. He was the one to set up the Cubieboard uboot to look for other devices if no partitions on the mSD card.
Never tried that, but it seems that you still need to at least have uboot on a microSD, as embedded firmware on such low cost armhfp boards have zero features for this
Now if someone has interest in this , why not test it and report that on the dedicated "CentOS armhfp" wiki page ? https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/Arm32 :-)
I don't do any network booting. I prefer to have my local sata drive...
