No, system-config-date does not use CLDR and I am not a developer of  
system-config-date. Please report bugs if you want this feature.

The crowd translations from CLDR are of very low quality (imho) and should  
be used with great care, at least for Ukrainian. The results of their  
application at transifex are not very promising. The general idea was good  
but the implementation is very inflexible and at least sometimes leads to  
mistakes.

Broken dates in Ukrainian locale on Transifex due to mistakes in CLDR:
