It is udev, rather than autofs, that creates /dev/disk/* entries. The udev rules must be a bit different for Centos/RHEL. Kind of strange, since Fedora has had it at least since Core 4.
The solution is to add udev rules to create a symlink to the physical device that gets assigned by udev. That is exactly how the /dev/disk/* entries are handled. It should be possible to copy the "persistent block device stuff" section from the Fedora 50-udev.rules file and place them in a new file named /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local-udev.rules, (or some name that is sorted before 50-udev.rules). If you Google "centos /etc/udev/rules.d" you will find many examples of how to give a USB drive partition a persistent device name based on filesystem label. It really doesn't matter how you do it, as long as there is a persistent device name that can be used to configure autofs.
