Not commenting on whether the game has it right in this case or not, just saying with what we can see the 6 years in the minors triggers it. We would need to see his history section to see when he signed his first contract to be sure. There is also a provision that has to do with being released previously that can speed up the process.
Google MLB rule 55 for details or hope Le Grande Orange sees this thread

I only count 5 years of service. What am I missing?
