The $6+ price point was a fluke, a new exchange listed Steem/SBD and non-steemians bought SBD without knowing it was a peg and when the peg went higher than $1 Steem followed. We also had like 10x less SBD printed at the time, a condition that likely will never happen again. I highly doubt many people responsible for the pump even knew about the powerdown lock.
While we may see $6+ steem again, the previous was a perfect storm of luck and ignorance.
