What I think is unclear is that the original text mentions Fedora.
So, saying it's 'midstream' between CentOS and Fedora makes me think
you're taking package versions in Fedora and building it on/for
CentOS.

I'll also mention that the word 'stream' is being heavily abused by
CentOS at this point.  

I realize that a lot of work goes into taking Fedora stuff and putting
into RHEL, so I wouldn't want to step on that.
