It's used to contain the next CentOS point release in the interval between the RHEL point release coming out and the GA release of the equivalent CentOS version a few weeks later. It's designed to allow people to get access to the packages from the next point release while the team work on creating the isos/images etc. It's so you don't have to wait until the isos are built etc. Means everyone gets access to the content a few weeks earlier than otherwise.
