The CRL can come from anywhere as long as it is supplied to OpenSSL in the
appropriate way.

There are some standard places a CRL can be included such as a file or
directory containing the set of trusted certificates but it is not a
requirement.

I can't really comment more without seeing a sample of how your code is
loading the CRL and how it is enabling CRL checks.
