Raise the flop and make life easier on yourself.

One of my favorite lines to take is: I have an overpair and position, the flop comes paired, like 883, J22, whatever (this case is similar, Q66) and the OOP opponent bets out; I like to call flop, call turn, raise river. Whether or not I would change my plan when an ace hits and he still bets the turn and river, I don't know. But I like it in theory, because I do this a lot.

Nice! I love this line too, especially with AA. With KK, I like it a lot too, though I'm more prone to (sometimes) reconsidering when an A hits. In this spot, an A is a pretty unlikely holding for your one opponent there, unless he has A6, in which case you were beat anyway, or maaaaybe AQ. I think a worse Q or a busted draw comprises most of his range, and it's a pretty cool raise on the river. The 6 was actually a very good card for you.
