At this point a 6/4 measure with dotted lines before beats 3 and 5 would suit better, in my opinion. Or eventually a measure tick instead of the dotted bar line could be used. By the way there is not an absolute theory which states that 6/4 has to be grouped in two ternary groups. Hindemit's approach to the so called 'compound time' would lead to other interpretation.
