You can install any version you like... but make sure you have a license, and your host supports 6.0.

You can change the version you install.
When you re-install ESXi, it will *DETECT* the current VMFS partitions, where the VMs are stored, when it states PRESERVE datastore, select YES.
When you have finished the installation, and later connected to ESXi browse the existing datastore, and register VMs with the inventory.
You can see an example of this in Step 6 in this EE Article I wrote
