Yes, and the notation should not contradict it. Music with 3 beats to the half note, but with a 6/4 meter is, to me, a case where the notation contradicts the musical content. But this is because I recognize only two valid interpretations for 6/4, 2/H. and 6/Q -- and my reason for eliminating 3/H is because I can't see a reason for using 6/4 to indicate what 3/2 clearly indicates without the confusion of the compound time signature. -- David W.
