You should be able to upgrade directly from FC4 to FC6 without an 
intermediate step.

One thing that might give you problems is the newer installer that uses 
yum is a bit fragile when it encounters packages that do not exist in 
the later installations. I don't recall FC4 much but seem to remember it 
had a lot of programs that are not in core any longer.

Of course there may be new packages that are new from FC4 to FC6 that an 
upgrade may not pull in also. That detail can be fixed by adding 
packages via pirut after the upgrade.
