I don't see why you'd have to host the very same files *one more time* anyway, i.e. in addition to the seven or eight Aminet mirrors plus Morphos-Files. I don't know about the latter, but Aminet allowes linking to binaries.
In my opinion linking files directly from Aminet would be better idea. If deemed necessary MorphOS Central could have its own upload area but duplicating Aminet files is just waste of good harddisk space. This also solves redistribution problem as you pointed out.
Same for MorphOS files if it allows linking to binaries.
Bonus for uploading to MorphOS Central exclusively could be screenshots, rating and such, if/when implemented.
1 + 1 = 3 with very large values of 1
