I would say yes. In your case, think of the 6/4 measure as two bars
of 3/4. If you had two beats rest in a 3/4 followed by a quarter
note, you would use two quarter rests.

This is the same situation as above, except that you're talking about
the first half of the measure rather than the second. Use two quarter
rests. (If you use a half rest, the bar looks suspiciously like a 3/2
bar, which may confuse things.)
