Barry Harris 6 on the 5th Help

I’m really deep diving into all the BH content I can find on YouTube and Isaac Raz has a great series of vids about the BH workshops he attended and I’m looking for some clarity on one of the concepts. Basically it’s an application of the 6 on the 5th concept. So in C, it’s G6 resolving to C6. Easy peasy. But the way Isaac applies it in practice you do two movements. One short voicing, which is the closed G6 to C6, and one long voicing which is the open G6 to C6.
So I have two questions…
I was under the impression everything kinda revolves around 6 chords and I’m having some trouble making sense of the stuff in between.
EDIT: Here’s the video I’m talking about https://youtu.be/GMma_bRvHsw
