Have a close look at the plate spacing in the tuning condenser; a near short in the tuning condenser will effect every band but at 6MC you might just have run out of adjustment.

More realistically I would spread the turns on that band's oscillator coil.  Don't be afraid to do it, it's something that I do often when I want a perfectly tracked dial.
