connected to a 6 inch flue connector so the flue connector could
handle all of the flue gas going through it when both water heaters
are firing.

Without that, or maybe even with it, you could end up with hot exhaust gasses
coming out at the top of one heater when the other is running.

The cross sectional area of a 6" pipe is more than twice the size of 2
6" pipes, so it will handle it fine.
