Minimal update to the following major releases like 5.2, 6.0 and so on, the all make some changes to the graylog system.

Read the update notices and especially look at the server.conf file and solve the differences between those files after each update.

Make a backup of mongodb with mongodump between updates (we always do)

As far as I know your mongoDB is already the right one for 6.0.
