Where do the docs mention that location?

The default location for the config file on CentOS should be 
${install_prefix}/etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config

It's the other way round. As the docs say
<quote>
When available disk space falls below this limit, flow control is triggered.

i.e. you must have *at least* that much disk space available on the 
partition in which RabbitMQ is storing data. So, if you are seeing 
rabbit block due to a disk space alarm then you must *lower* the limit 
(which will make rabbit more fragile in general, but may be ok in your 
case), or increase the partition size, or configure rabbit to put the 
data on a different, bigger partition.
