This allowed us good climbing on the ramp (the primary reason for the 6 wheels) but also reduced scrubbing drastically when turning.

An excellent idea...
OOC, Were the wheels evenly spaced, or was the center pair nearer to one end? How was weight distributed across the wheel pairs? Did your robot rock back and forth between the outer sets of wheels when you reversed, and then run on the "back" (outer) pair each way?
