Is my Flux Lipo cutoff working or not?

Yes and no. AS the MAH drops the voltage drops. Putting almost 6000 mah back into a 6000 mah pack is not an issue. You mainly want to know what the voltage is per cell when it stops. If you are below 6v on a 2s pack I would be a little concerned.

Just to give you a quick example for reassurance I have my LVC set at 3.1 volts per cell. When I hit the cutoff on my 3s packs and put them on the charge they usually read 9.6 volts. It also routinely puts almost 5350 mah back into my 5350 mah pack.

As well as voltage if you start putting well over 6000 mah back into those packs I would be concerned. While the voltage may read over 6 the cells could well be out of balance which is critical as well. However seeing as you have a blancer and a good charger, I think you are well in the clear. This was just more an FYI type thing.

Last thing to note is that it is obvious you are using quality cells, which is another major factor. If these were maxamps or some other brand known to be lesser quality you may would have room for some concern.

To add to what Texas said the cells listed capacity (mah) is often less than what they actually hold. If you discharge them below 3v per cell you could get more capacity out of them (nt advised!). I ran a neu 5s 5000 pack yesterday and it was with a quark esc that has a 3v per cell lvc. I put 4935mah back into the pack after it hit the lvc. So you should be fine. You can put the lvc up to 3.2v per cell, I like to run that, especially since you are running 2 packs in series, and you may have some cell variance between the 2 packs.
