As I understand it, that tag will get you the latest released version of 
6.x. So today it would apply security and bugfix updates for 6.0, but 
after 6.1 comes out you would get 6.1, and so on. If you want to track 
6.0 specifically, use RELENG_6_0. Right now there is no difference 
between RELENG_6 and RELENG_6_0, but later there will be.

As everyone else has said, see the Handbook for definitive answers.

HTH.
