The biggest difference is probably that they seem to take a 'older' Fedora, and then stabilize it a bit before blessing it as the new RHEL, where Ubuntu just forks off the LTS from their regular release (and where a lot of people seem to wait for the .1 release of the LTS before actually using it)

Also not everything makes it from Fedora into RHEL.

This is true, but the vast majority does (if you use EPEL and RPM Fusion). I've also had pretty good luck using Fedora rpms from the same era. Gotta stay on top of CVEs tho so you don't end up running a vulnerable application.
