Two round locating holes with diameters closely sized to the locating holes diameters may not always accept the allowable distance variation between them.
Remember...

Typically this is called a two-way locator as it locates the part in the up-down or left-right (only two of four ways) direction. This is opposed to a round pin which is a four way locator. You can't move the hole in the left-right and up-down directions.
This is commonly used to create your part alignment on the B-C datum line (In CMM speak this creates your line.) The round pin is your four-way locator which defines the origin of the part (Your origin or point from which all other points are relative). The diamond allows you to properly align one of the axis of your co-ordinate system through the center of the hole without making the part extremely difficult to load onto the fixture.
