It's deliberate.
Apparently the CentOS board went ahead and made major changes, different from RedHat, to the release names for CentOS 7 based on a thread in centos-devel.
I find no solicitations for feedback on this list, or the centos-announce list. (If I've missed one, let me know!)
It's a decision I disagree with vehemently, and would have happily made my objections known had I heard. As a "customer" of CentOS, I do not participate in the centos-devel list. Obviously considering the messages cropping up on this list today, I am not alone.

Just when CentOS "7.1" was released, the content of redhat-release file was : [root@centos-test ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 (Source)
Then Karanbir corrected that, as it was not coherent with previous content, and broke some tools and scripts : [root@centos7 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core)
It is now : [root@centos-test ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)
I think the content of the os-release file has not been corrected accordingly, and is not coherent with RHEL. But if you read the announces mailing list, it seems indeed deliberate, as already said...
