To be honest, I'm not quite sure. My understanding is that a player only becomes a minors FA at the end of that 6th year, but not at the end of every year thereafter. I will probably test this out when I get some spare time here soon because I'm also curious to find out if you can "cheat" by calling someone up and sending them back down after the 6th year deadline has passed.
