There isn't any interaction as far as I know.  But they complaint being
made is with razor.  I'm just furthering the point that the issue is
more with the sysadmins and not with razor.

You have the CF values so someone who doesn't want to trust a few
peoples spam reporting then you change your min_cf.  The default I think
is ac (absolute confidence).  But this is still based on the sysadmin
preference not razor's.

Is there any interaction between those servers and the open use servers?
If not, then I don't see how their existance matters to how Razor
operates in general.

Requiring a user to establish their reliability over a period of time
before their vote counts seems like it would reduce the effectiveness of
creating a new account to "erase" a poor trust score.  And that would be
the case regardless of who ran the server in question, assuming that
server doesn't accept information from other servers that have different
rules.  Each site/group has their own server/database and their own user
base.  Razor can come with whatever default set of trust scoring rules
that the authors desire.  The purchasers of razor servers are free to
change those rules as they please -- and live with the results.  But
their results don't affect the "main" database, do they?  Isolated
corporate razor servers shouldn't have any more bearing on razor than
the existence of DCC or Pyzor.  They are separate systems and don't
interact, except through the actions of their users.
