I don't see anything wrong with going from 3rd->6th. So what you rev to about 5k getting onto a highway. And shifting through the other gears would be silly.

I do get locked out of 6th till the rpms get to around 3ish I think (cars been in storage for awhile now). 70mph ~ 2600RPM

Each gear has a speed it works best in. Higher gears such as 6th is able to work from 33 mph and up. I go from 3rd to 6th because there is no need to hit 4th and 5th. I'm already at the speed 6th can handle. Hitting the other gears would be a waste of time. If I was racing and wanted max acceleration I would hit every gear topping out each one. But I'm sure you know that. Just answering your question.
