No, because the 6.0 would just rank the skaters in the specific competition - so Adelina would lets say get 5.9 and Anna would get 6.0: this would mean Anna was the best, and Adelina second best on this specific event. Kinda like medaling: a gold medal is a gold medal, but one thing is Mordovian Ornament´s gold, and another, a Worlds gold, for example. But both are gold medals. So, as long as the skaters were ordered fairly, the actual numerals they got doesnt matter that much (kinda like WTT, if you are second there, you are second, doesnt matter if it was a 0.20 or a 20 points difference)
Now COP scores are supposed to be comparable between events, and a 200 at Mordovian Ornament is expected to be same as 200 at Worlds, and this is why people are annoyed by inflation.
Anna would never have gotten 6.0 for that skate. She might get some 5.9s on tech, but probably not all or even most. On the second mark, she would get lower marks--5.6s, 5.7s, maybe some even lower. Adelina would probably get in the low 5's for her tech, but higher on the second mark--enough to put her over Anna on presentation, so maybe 5.7s. Anna would rank first overall, based on her much higher tech marks. The ranking was done within the marks that best represented the performance after deductions, not by giving the best skater the highest possible mark.
