Just a minute, a correction...
I think I had in mind that the body text under h6 would not be
smaller than h6. But, come to think of it, this might be rather
odd! It would still be smaller than 1em and so different to the
rest of the body text under the other headings. I vaguely
imagined this to be acceptable in the unusual situation of a need
for h6.
So perhaps your suggestion is the more straightforward. Your idea
has the consequence that body text has to be not smaller than h6.
Which does not mean it has to be smaller (and so go against the
generally good idea of keeping main body text at 1em). So, yes, I
was not thinking right through this - and probably have got more
thinking to go on it.
