No, a v4 uuid comes from a good RNG. The blog post just said v6 by mistake when it meant v4.

V6 is just a v4 rearranged to behave more like v7 for the purposes of b-tree insertion.

I believe V6 is a reordering of V1, not V4. V4 is random aside from the bits specifying version & variant, ~6/7 bits.
