If you look at the Software collections info for EL6, they specifically discuss that issue: http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/SCL/docs/#sect-Installation_and_Usage-Migrating_from_MySQL_5.1_to_MySQL_5.5 (see section 2.6.3) So, Red Hat has specifically tested using the 5.1 (for EL6 and 5.0 for EL5) client library with the 5.5 database and has certified it as working enough that they support it. Does that mean it is flawless ... likely not. But it is as intended.
