There's a lot of good resources on SPR on google, but the general idea is that the smaller our stack-to-pot ratio is on the flop, the more committed we are to going with our hand. When your SPR is less than 3, very often top pair is good enough to get it in.
In this particular situation, by calling preflop we are likely creating creating a pot of 3K assuming the BB is always going to just complete. That gives the button a stack-to-pot ratio of ~2 (6K in their stack/3K in the pot) and the BB is a stack-to-pot ratio of ~3 (9K in their stack/3K in the pot).
