Example

Prime number 191: the closest prime number to 191 is 193 with 193-191 = 2 <= 6. So 191 is in this sequence.
Prime number 211: the closest prime number to 211 is 199 with 211-199=12 > 6. So 211 is not in this sequence.

Mathematica

p = 2; Table[While[p = NextPrime[p]; ((NextPrime[p] - p) > 6) && (6 < (p - NextPrime[p, -1]))]; p, {n, 1, 58}]
