Requirements of the appropriate filler metal specification for each filler metal type, size, heat, and lot number. This requirement may be fulfilled by the manufacturer or vendor labeling each container with a statement that the material conforms to the appropriate ASME SFA or AWS specification.

What Is Filler Metal F Number
The AWS User’s Guide to Filler Metalsis a collection of commentary information selected from the 30 technical standards written by the AWS Committee on Filler Metal. The User’s Guide provides descriptions of specific filler metals and their intended usage, as well as methods for classification, welding procedures, and safety considerations.

I am not sure in what context you are speaking of completely.
In AWS D1.1 there is NO F-6 listed as an F number in Table 4.13 so it does not apply. Table 4.12 item 2 specifically says 'To an SMAW Electorde with an F-number higher.......) indicating F number is only an consideration for SMAW
ASME handles F Numbers differently and for tyhe most part says the same thing but addresses more Fnumbers.
Regardless, F Number is NOT the only consideration. For any of the variables to work within their range, all other variables must be within the range of qualification. Keep the same F Number but change another variable (Position, Process, Thickness, Backing, Progressions, etc...) In you example below you refer to F6 which is NOT an SMAW F Number but then you refer to 7018. In that case the statement changes the process so another variable is changed.
If you are not intimately familar with 'The codes' I would strongly caution questioning anyone else in a production setting until you become more familar.
As far as D1.1 Clause 4 will address what you need to know regarding variables for performance qualification.
