Crop vs Full Frame
There's way more to this than pixel count. The D6 is a professional body full frame camera. Your D3300 is an entry level crop sensor camera. There's a world of difference between the two. You also need to know what you're doing with a D6. It's not a camera to put in auto mode and click away.
ETA: I have a D7100. That series level would probably be a better step up that going all the way to a state of the art professional body camera for you.
Nikon D6 Professional Body Camera
Maybe I misspoke. I understand sensor size in regards to full frame vs cropped. What I mean though is why do the higher end cameras tail off from the upper mid range cameras on the megapixels? Wouldn't those higher end cameras and their users demand a higher pixel count similar to the mid to upper range models? Or does pixel count after 20MP start becoming a case of diminishing returns?

Here's an article about why more megapixels isn't better.

There’s no perfect camera for everything. “Higher end” cameras don’t tail off at 20mp. Someone in the market for a D6 is probably using it for sports. 12-15 frames a second isn’t conducive to huge raw files. Commercial photographers step up to medium format which moves you into the 50-150mp range....but then those are hamstrung by frame rates, autofocus and low light capabilities.

I have a D500 and use it for sports - absolutely love it. Great for continuous shots.
ETA: Had a 750 for a while and went back to the D500. It's hard to beat how "quick" it is. For sports shooting with a crop sensor actually helps your range.
