Unfortunately, the post only talks about OCP exam in general. It doesn't specifically mentions that if this requirement is for OCP all versions, or only for version 7 etc.

Where did you find this? Can you please post the link? As per my knowledge, there is no prerequisite for OCP version 6 (1Z0-851). The OCA mandate is for OCP version 7 (1Z1-804).
Here are the links :
1Z0-851 &
1Z1-804

Well, Oracle checks the eligibility of the candidate
before the exam. If you are not eligible for a particular exam, system would not allow you to appear for the exam. So, don't worry about this
If you are preparing for 1Z0-851, as of now, you can directly appear for this exam and you don't have to first go for OCA.
I hope this helps.
