Weighting the outside pedal in a turn isn't about shifting center of gravity. It's about leveraging the bike upright to maintain contact patch between tire and road surface. This should be done in conjunction with leveraging the handlebars.

Sliding off the bike or shifting your weight towards the inside to offset centrifugal forces does shift center of gravity because it shifts weight.
