I don't think repositories map 1:1 on like that. If you still want to compare, the new rawhide proposal creates two repositories that roughly map to experimental and unstable. Fedora release schedule is bi-yearly one with a ~13 months updates cycle.
RHEL is derived from a subset of Fedora packages (~2500 in EL vs 15,000 + in Fedora) and they are forked and maintained in parallel to Fedora releases for 7 to 10 years. So doesn't map to Debian well either since none of distributions (except for EL rebuilds) have such a long release cycle.
