The local copy is rev 5985 and the head of the branch is 6011. I'm not sure how rev 6012 could factor into this.

Do you mean r6012 does not exist at all in the repository, or just
that there are no commits to the branch with that revision? Use repo
browser on the root of the repository and show log from there to find
out.

Remember that revisions are repository-wide, so if another commit was
made elsewhere then r6012 may exist. In the branch r6012 will be the
same as r6011, so it is perfectly legal.
