That sounds normal?
Reaching 1.5+ already shows that the sensors can read higher than typical diving setpoints 1.0-1.4--the main purpose of that cell check IMO. More so than trying to re-validate "100%"
A ppO2 ~1.5+ @ 6 metres would be ~94+% oxygen? ~5% inert gases are probably not going to impact deco in meaningful ways when that shallow.
Sitting at ~1.5 (or 5.5 metres) is probably not going to make or break one's deco. Many would also be comfortable at ~4 metres if it's the actual ceiling. Pure(ish) O2 doesn't care, the 'oxygen window' actually looks mathematically the same there when vetted (except for those believing 6 metres will keep their microbubbles smaller.)
A ~5% margin that shallow shouldn't be making much difference for typical deco or oxtox, compared to the already quite beneficial off-gassing gradients, and several other conditional/personal/situational factors
