What the h... are you talking about? Again, CentOS speed of updates has no impact and makes no difference to OpenVZ. OpenVZ takes the freely available Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel source, same as you or I could if we wanted. Please don't spread FUD out of ignorance.
You do know what CentOS is and how they create their binary packages? You do know that CentOS takes the RHEL sources without changing them (apart from few exceptions, like anaconda, etc.), same as SL, PUIAS, etc.?
The fact that CentOS 5 has catched up with the updates recently and the fact that OpenVZ now has the same version of the RHEL 5 kernel is a coincidence. OpenVZ did not wait for CentOS updates to catch up, same as SL or PUIAS didn't. They all separately took RHEL sources and worked with them.
Take a look at the OpenVZ RHEL 6 kernel and tell me which minor version is it - you'll find it in the release notes and/or in the source. Than look at the CentOS 6 kernel and tell me the minor version. See?
