Triangle ABC, where A is a vertex, B is a mid-point of a side, and CC the center of the octahedron, has a right angle at C and sides CB
\begin{gathered} = > \frac12CB \\ \end{gathered}
=>

and
\begin{gathered}AB=\frac{\sqrt3}2 \\ \end{gathered}
AB=

Point of contact between the sphere and the octahedron, D is in the center of the face, therefore the median AB is divided in the ration of 2:1 making
\begin{gathered}DB= \frac{1}{3} \\ \\ AB=\frac1{2\sqrt3} \\ \\\end{gathered}
DB=

AB=

Triangle CBD has a right angle at D, so
\begin{gathered}CD=\sqrt{CB^2-DB^2} \\ \\ =\sqrt{\frac14-\frac1{12}} \\ \\ =\boxed{\frac1{\sqrt6}}\\ \end{gathered}
CD=
