The patch for CESA-2017:2563 announced at https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2017-August/022529.html is only available in the centos 6.9 repo. It is missing for the generic centos-6 repo at http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/os/x86_64/Packages/. Typically this repo contains all the latest patches for the latest minor release, but it's missing the new version of openssh. I assume this is by mistake, but please correct me if I am wrong.
centos-6/6/ is a symlink to centos/6/
which is inturn a symlink to the latest directory .. in this case 6.9/
So, you will get the same package from each location
But, during the update sync out cycle, some servers have updates while others are still syncing, so it sometimes takes a couple of hours for everything to settle out.
Both of those directories will have the same content when they are synced.
I did just release 30ish SRPM builds today, so it will take a few hours for everything to stabilize.
