Without knowing anything about Qualys, I'm going to take a stab and
guess it is looking in /etc/redhat-release for string matches. There is
also os-release, sl-release, and system-release.
Try backing them up and changing the string to either CentOS or RedHat's
equivalent and see if that makes a difference. The os-release is the
preferred method, as it as the ID_LIKE attribute. I doubt Qualys is
using utilizing that information though.
