What’s unclear to me from the article is, is the Centaur closer to, or farther away from the sun than Uranus? And at what distance? Are they in danger of colliding at some point? I guess that remains to be seen.

It is farther away. As objects get farther away from the Sun they move slower and have a bigger orbit . It only makes 3 orbits every time Uranius makes 4.
