But this obviously doesn't help anyone on F5 or lower flights.
Point is, if you want an award and a flight is F6, I WOULD check daily as something could open.
Yes, 100%. This has definitely happened on numerous occasions and if the flight is F6 you should without a doubt check daily or set an alert via AwardNexus or similar.
