That has no bearing on whether the FIA would/could/should look at another package.
And the answer whether an i6 may perform better is?
Since when is it the task of the FIA to find the best performing configuration? It isn't.
They just set a bunch of rules to keep it controllable, manageable and accesable. IF they wanted the best configuration they'd set a v12 with unlimited turbo's and displacement....
Why the FIA chose a V6 instead of an i6 or b6... no one knows. Maybe even marketing might be involved.
People here seem to think a V6 might have an edge over an i6 or b6 performance wise (or vice versa). I don't think that has anything to do with it.
