The upstream and downstream releases don't match up in terms of version numbers and schedule.
Everything happens upstream in oVirt but the actual release timing and stabilization will be different.
For example, right now ovirt 3.1 is out and RHEV 3.1 is in beta.
By the time RHEV GA's (before end of year) they'll be a number of differences - for example RHEV 3.1 will include storage live migration, which won't get picked up in an upstream release until 3.2, although the work is all happening upstream.

There's a significant QA team working on testing RHEV while upstream gets community testing and of course there's the usual backporting of fixes/features that you'll be used to if you use RHEL.
Overall it's a more polished and stable experience.
There's ongoing discussions about how we get more polish and testing for the upstream releases - they'll never match what happens downstream in terms of testing and engineering resources but we do need to make the oVirt 3.2 release more polished than 3.1 was.
