No. You can, with recv, override any property in the sending stream that can be set from the command line (ie, a writable). Version is not one of those properties. It only gets changed, in an upward direction, when you do a zfs upgrade.

ie:

#  zfs get version repo/support
NAME          PROPERTY  VALUE    SOURCE
repo/support  version   5        -


# zfs send repo/support@cpu-0412 | zfs recv -o version=4 repo/test
cannot receive: cannot override received version



You can send a version 6 file system into a version 28 pool, but it will still be a version 6 file system.
