Any news on that ?

Yes i know that subscription-manager point to *.redhat.com, but i think you have modified this for the version of subscription-manager that you provide with CentOS 7, so i don't think that there is any major changes on that side for the version of subscription-manager provided by RHEL6. As i said, i can take a look at it more deeply but i want to know before taking this time if at the end you are ok to integrate it in CentOS 6 or not.

Have a nice day.

Regards.
