Please explain then. I was making the assumption of course that the first three positions had folded in the FR
game. Could a factor be that if the first 3 positions fold in full ring, then the remaining hands are a bit more likely to be strong, because the mucked hands are unlikely to be JJ-AA, AK, or AQ?

Why would the fact that you are going to post the blinds more often have any affect on how you play the current hand. You make the play that maximizes the Ev for the current hand.
Lets say you are on the button in both FR and 6-max and everybody folds to you. Opening with more hands in the 6-max game makes no sense just because you will have to post a blind sooner. The fact that more people folded in the FR game has a very small effect on the strenth of the remaining hands.
You play tighter in FR games because you will be up against bigger hands more often. But if the three or four first positions fold the FR game basically becomes a 6-max game.
