Climb/Descent Seperation in CTA

Could some of the ATC people who post on Pprune, give an insight into the wizard ways ATC control aircraft.
My query relates to operations out of non controlled airports into CTA at F180. Why is it, when faced with opposing traffic, does ATC prefer the passing to occur OCTA. Could not a reverse step climb be used to seperate the aicraft by distance ie DME or GPS? so that the passing occurs in CTA.
What lateral seperation is needed for two aircraft to pass tracking on VOR radials?
I am not on a witch hunt, but would like to understand how the crystal ball works?
