Since three of the four points of a tetra atop a goal are nowhere near a clover, I don't believe that's a reasonable intepretation of the rule.

The clover at the top of a goal is not the supporting structure. If you remove the clover (while still holding the goal's tubes in place), the tetra remains supported.
I think it's obvious that the supporting structure is the "outer" surface of the goal, where the tetra can touch and actually
be supported. That's where I think the six inch measurement should be made from.
