"6th" edition probably won't happen. The longstanding association in the Western world between evil and the number 6 is a pox on product sales. D&D marketing especially has to take this into account with the unfounded slander the game endured from the ignorant in its early days.
Instead, with the 50th anniversary of the game looming half a decade ahead, we should look forward to the "Gold" or "Golden Anniversary" edition. It's really a marketing coup they can't pass up.
Expect Ge to be backward compatible with 5e, unless ownership of the company changes hands again.
What I'd like to see in Ge is mostly
1) a major cleanup of 5e with all the little RAW edited to better reflect RAI,
2) a finalised version of the ever evolving ranger finally making it to print,
3) a major nerf on druids which IMO have been disproportionately overpowered compared to other classes since 3e
4) use of the same mechanic for all shape change types: wild shape, lycanthropes, polymorph, etc.
5) a massive tome of monsters in a single print edition that encompasses all the creatures currently spread across more than a half a dozen books. (With other tomes for spells and items.)
G) a level point mechanic applied to all classes to fuel their special abilities, like sorcery points or ki.
