The brazilian government, one of the biggest Fedora Case of the world is changing from Fedora/ Red Hat to Ubuntu/Debian.
The problem was at an initial point, when Fedora was considered "for enthusiasts only". A lot of previous "RedHat Linux enthusiasts" just switch to CentOS (and similar RHEL-based systems), no more using Fedora, because "it is marked as a non-for-production system even by its creators".
The fact that they switched to CentOS is *good* for Fedora. CentOS's goals are better oriented to the needs of someone that wants to deploy a system and run it for years.
They switched to Debian and Ubuntu. There is no evidence that they considered Centos.
According to the CentOS guys, they used CentOS at some point in time.
