You just get into the 'wide range' spots more often at 6-max than full-ring. The actual width of those 'wide range' spots are the same, or at least they should be.
For instance, Button vs Small Blind should play out exactly the same at full-ring as it does at 6-max so basically they are the same games in theory.
You are right that in certain spots the ranges are roughly the same as fr but only in instances when utg-utg+2 all open fold. However they are in fact still wider at 6m due to card removal at fr when these guys fold.
If you extrapolate more and say playing 3 handed has the same range of hands as fr (except only when btn, sb and bb) then the difference becomes even more pronounced due to card removal and the ranges at 3 handed will be a fair bit wider.
But in reality 6m and fr are the same game and it only takes a little work for a winner at one form to switch to another and i think your point (about it roughly just being more wide spots at 6m rather than ranges being far wider) is probably accurate enough.
