Yes. The replication protocol is the same.
The only problems you might have are schema and syntax incompatibility.

No, why?
If I were responsible for 389DS package, I would package the same
version for CentOS 5 and 6. That way, migration from one operating
system to another would be easy.
I don 't understand why they package different versions. If 389DS
people decide to make a big change, suppose in the replication
protocol. How would you migrate from CentOS 5 to 6?

They should, yes.

It has absolutely nothing to do with EPEL.
Who package 389DS for EPEL?
EPEL people or 389DS people?

I would file a ticket and get it fixed asap, because it is supposed to work.
No, I tried both and they work fine together, but I cant 't find
documentation to know if it 's safe ...
