My guess is it's because a lot of educational games tend to be geared towards elementary school students, by middle school, teachers shift away from games to more serious study material. In some areas, sixth grade is first year of middle school, but there are also many elementary schools that go up to sixth grade, so it can count as elementary school. It would also be a lot more challenging to create games for seventh grade and beyond, considering the curriculum gets much more difficult, and designing entertaining games around that curriculum would be much more tricky too. Personally I think the main reason is that there's just not really a huge market for educational games aimed at middle school students like there is for elementary students, though.
