    Try to load a picture of the sticker, but it clearly says 6000 and I thought that was kind of odd

    Sticker doesn't say "rev limiter 6000". It may say "recommended maximum RPM's" though.

    Limiter shouldn't be viewed as a "fixed number"- it's more of a window of about 400 RPM's. May activate earlier (or not) depending on many conditions, such as LOAD.

    That engine begins to fall off in the torque curve at around 6050 so 6000 was a good recommendation.
