I have no idea why those are not there ... I will see if these are
signed in our build system and push them now if they are.

It is a mistake that any from the 6.0 repo are not there ... one that I
will rectify ASAP.

You will not need to get them from upstream, they will be provided when
we release 6.1 (the CR ones).  The purpose of CR is to be fast with the
binaries and we will push everything (including the sources) after we
finish the QA and do the 6.0 release.

You can get them from upstream if the package is not either a kernel or
have centos or .centos in the name, because they will be the same
(except for the signature).  Otherwise we are down to the last couple of
errors and I expect 6.1 to be released within a week (including all SRPMS).
