Hello, I do personnally use QGIS for this kind of task and I think it is likely to be the most useful and easy place for it, however this request was about making it work using ArcGIS. So, thank you very much for all the instructive tips, specially to Brad and Peter!
Refreshing the cache within the application solved the issue of the different (not matching) zoom levels. As it seems that nobody hosts the humanitarian style OSM layer yet in a way that it could be used, the GIS guys are back using the standard OSM basemap for the urgent needs, but your suggestions will soon be tried too.
