Not exactly, or at least not directly.

CentOS Stream provides an early look at the next minor releases of RHEL,
and a way to contribute to them. It brings the small, carefully picked
bugfixes and improvements to existing packages versions, with limited
rebases to latest upstreams.

ELN is Fedora rawhide content recompiled the way RHEL and CentOS would,
so it shows what the next major release of RHEL (and CentOS) could look
like, and provides mechanism to experiment with it. So it's mostly the
latest greatest versions of the software, with no intention of
stabilizing / freezing the package versions.
