You shouldn't have to apply the RHEL content to a CentOS machine at all.
The profiles in ssg-centos7-xccdf.xml are the exact same as what is in
ssg-rhel7-xccdf.xml. So, a new rule gets added to the STIG profile in
ssg-rhel7-xccdf.xml
then that same rule will get added to ssg-centos7-xccdf.xml when the
content is
built.

That is correct. Same thing with ScientificLinux.
