The recommended arrangement is this:
- NagDist1 checks *services* on HostA and reports to NagCentral
- NagCentral displays/notifies about the HostA service(s) (after the
configured threshold is met)
- NagCentral checks the host HostA

So, you are correct, the described arrangement is not the documented
arrangement.  However, through creative use of eventhandlers on
NagCentral, you could organize such functionality.  Read the "Event
Handlers" section under "Advanced Topics" in the Documentation.  I don't
think it would be *too* painful.

(If you do set this up, PLEASE post documentation - I'm sure someone
else wants this, too)
