That's probably because traditionally, 6 is the last available runlevel; so 6 is traditionally reboot, and 0 is halt, on every Unix system that has runlevels. I'm not completely sure, but I suspect there's also near-universal consensus that 1 is more-or-less single user. There seems to be a somewhat weaker tradition saying that 2 is normal without net, and 3 is normal with net. Again, none of these traditions are Linux-specific; all are quite a bit older than Linux.
