But CentOS6 with the corresponding versions and likely a larger base 
isn't out yet.

Some people choose new bugs over old.  Not everyone.

Red Hat backports fixes, so it doesn't make sense to talk about their

mentioning a CVE number that they haven't addressed.  But in this case 
that's not quite true either since the 5.6 update included bind 9.7.
