Without knowing the conditions of recieving that offer, I wouldn't bank on being able to replicate it. You'd think whoever has the technology/magic to yeet your consciousness back in time into your 6 year old self without a time paradox would be smart enough to think of that infinite loop thing and avoid that.
But it would be an interesting way to achieve pseudo-immortality.
Or perhaps if the red pill is turn six today variant that pessimists think it might be, you might get actual immortality. Say we work out immortality in 2060, that might be difficult for someone 50 today, but easy to reach for someone 6 today.
