That's... suspicious.  The only change between -5 and -6 was:

So, on x86 and amd64, -5 and -6 should be functionally identical; and
indeed, that stanza is still executed in the build logs for both i686
and x86_64.

The suspicious thing is how that stanza refers to the nvidia binary
driver.  The bug being mentioned is that if %{_libdir} is in DT_RPATH
then it'll be searched _before_ directories mentioned in ld.so.conf,
which means you get Mesa's libGL not nvidia's, and then it all breaks
down.  But the built binaries in -6 are correct (as they are in -5),
their rpaths don't contain %{_libdir} by itself.

So, barring something really quite unlikely (say, gcc or glibc changing
between the -5 and -6 builds and poisoning the later one), I suspect the
problem is something else in the update besides gnome-shell-3.6.2-6
itself.
