Is the explanation that the 6 wt is "thicker"?

Although a 6 wt. line is usually somewhat thicker than a 5 wt., the main
reason for the greater consumption of reel space by your new line is that
its a DT while the other line was a WF. A WF only has a forward taper
with the rear taper, that is present on a DT line, replaced by thin running
line.
