As Peter said, never RHEL, but...

I have Redsleeve 6 (Centos 6 for arm port) running on Cubieboard 2 & 3 
by using the F19 remix kernel.  You can see how I did this at:

The challenge has been EPEL6-arm.  The maintainer went away and it is 
static.  For some things that were no-arch, I was able to pull the rpms 
from the EPEL6-x86 repo and do a localinstall.

Centos 7 is more likely.  There is a mailing list for Centos-arm 
development.  At some point there will be some builds.
