The first detail is that you will be flying / traveling through China covered by 24 hour visa free transit, but to exit the airport you need a temporary entry permit. 24 hour visa free transit is your status that allows you to travel via China visa free and temporary entry permit is the detail that allows you to exit the airport. Having only 6 hours at your disposal, it is highly unlikely that you will be granted a temporary entry permit. Usually only those with layovers longer than 8 hours are granted a permit, but even then on case by case examination because a permit is not a passenger's right, but more like a bonus that can be granted to those with very long, usually overnight layovers. In any case, you can try. You can approach transit counter immediately upon your landing and apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets. If granted, you will proceed to the immigration and continue on your own and if not, you will remain airside. There are no repercussions whatsoever.
