Personally, I would rather open a bug for this. Reasons:

* if there are any obstacles regarding building with Qt6, a bug is more
appropriate to bundle issues, discussions, efforts, ...

* technically speaking, the package is not outdated (yet)

* If for whatever reason qt5 got removed from the repositories and the
package still was not rebuilt, it would *definitely* be a bug.

* If for whatever reason, you're wrong, the maintainer can close your bug
and tell you (and everyone else), what's wrong, in the reason.
