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.
However, that package was released a long time ago (31 aug) and it IS in both places right now. So no idea why you only see it in one place.
For the things released TODAY .. they may take a couple hours to get out.
