Nathanael;

I actually posted a very similar query earlier today. I found the reference 
that allowed me to have RHEL SCAP content run on CentOS systems at this link:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2014-November/msg00007.html

My earlier query is in attempt to help me better understand WHY the linked fix 
works. I am striving to understand the interrelationships of the various SCAP 
components.

I hope the above link answers your question.
