Posting the same question in two different threads is considered a no-no.
To answer your question there is no way to get to 5920 miles on a LAX-OMA fare -- for the same $250-ish price.
LAX-ATL-OMA-ATL-LAX is best you can do for $247, and it's 5522 miles. It's available on Nov 14-15 with the outbound from LAX-ATL as an overnight redeye. I'm doing LAX-ATL-OMA-DTW-LAX for slightly less miles, but it allows for a day in Omaha.
If you want, you can do something like LAX-ATL-OMA-ATL-LAX-LAS-LAX, but that's just two roundtrips booked back to back. Look at LAX-LAS, PDX, SFO/OAK, or SEA as your second trip to get those extra miles.
