Well, not completely. In this case it would overheat because it would be spinning too fast for too long. 6s puts you at ~40,000 nominal which is about 5,000 too high for the Feigaos and their infamous inefficiency. If the motor were still within the efficient band of operation you would indeed see lower temperatures by using a higher voltage and gearing for the same speed.
