Ideally you should wipe everything and then clean install the ROM. To retain your data and apps, you can take backup using titanium backup or take backup of data partition using BMM then restore (though I am not too sure about BMM method if it really works perfectly).

If you don't want to wipe then you can try to dirty flash the 6.0 ROM on the existing version. Just don't perform format or wipe, just flash the ROM+Gapps. see If it goes well.
Even if there is OTA support in the ROM then also it doesn't mean that the phone will be updated automatically like how it happens in case of official firmware updates. The OTA in most of the custom ROMs just downloads the ROM file on your phone, thats it. Rest you will have to manually install/flash the ROM using that downloaded file like how you maybe doing it now. OTA just cuts the step of finding and downloading the ROM file from internet. So IMO its not a feature which matters much.

No option other than clean install. That type of issue why its always recommended to clean flash the newer versions.

To have little bit of hope, backup the data partition using BMM then later try to restore the data partition using that backup once you successfully flash the ROM. If it works then all is good and if it doesn't then....
What are the steps you are following? Are you flashing using BMM? Which system? What GApps version? Try not to reboot between ROM and GApps flashing. Flash only minimal GApps.
I haven't faced any such issue with any of the ROMs so far. I just follow the BMM guide word to word.
Right now I am having 5.10 build and its pretty much stable and almost bug-free for me on System 1. There are few experiments going on in the builds after 5.10 so I would recommend you should also flash the 5.10 build.
