That is where the CLI can be downloaded from (this link is found at the mani Administration page, I forget which , I think its called Downloads in the Admin page).

You can be guaranteed that CLI can talk to THAT server that you downloaded it from. It is nothing more than the CLI build that matches the version of the RHQ Server.

It doesn't mean that you are guaranteed that CLI that you pull down will be able to talk to any future version of the server. Out of box, that CLI that is bundled with that RHQ Server is guaranteed to work with that server.
