If you are worried, just install 6.5.2 first. You can manually download it from here: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31116/~/readynas-os-version-6.5.2?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
Extract the image file from the zip, and manually install the image file from settings->install firmware

6.6.0 does not contain upgrade code that is required for upgrading ARM systems from 6.3.x or earlier. Any ARM system on 6.4.x or later would not be bricked updating to 6.6.0.
In any case if someone did try an upgrade direct from 6.3.x or earlier it should be fixable, but best to avoid this.
