Some points to ponder:

I) What gateway addresses are you quering? If you do a RIP query to the
net-E address of GW5 it should respond with a metric of 16 for all of
GW6's nets, that's the way Split Horizon/Poisoned Reverse works.  Are
you consistently querying the same IP address for gateways 5 and 6? 
What does a dump of the routing table from the console show?

II) Are you having Ethernet load problems?  Are you using p4213/4214
boards and DECnet?  If you turn on more tracing do you see RIP packets
at GW5 from GW6?
