"6 times the mass get ~6 times the gravity, if we're talking about a rocky planet of comparable density?"
There's no such thing, apparently, see the link I've already posted. According to the latest research, six times the Earth mass the planet is gaseous (Neptune-like). The limit over which the planet is Neptune-like is just two times Earth mass, which corresponds to just a little bigger radius than Earth's:
"a world that's 2.0 Earth masses and rocky will only be about 25% larger in radius than Earth; larger than that and you're probably Neptune-like, with a massive hydrogen/helium envelope."

"In short, there is simply no way one could stand on the “surface of Neptune”, let alone walk around on it."
