In most cases, the warning about going backwards only means for retaining an active volume. If you don't mind starting over, you can usually go backwards without an issue by first doing a USB recovery then a factory default without allowing the NAS to boot in between.
But, the reason for the warnings on those specific updates is not known to me, and I can't recommend you try it. If those updates also mess around with the U-Boot, then it's not the usual case.

Not connecting to the internet probably means that the DNS settings are not set correctly. If you set a static I.P. you need to make sure that DNS servers are specified correctly.
You should update first to 6.2.5. You may then as a one-off need to use the debian .deb package in ReadyNAS OS 6: RN100/RN2120 cannot update due to invalid checksum to update to 6.5.2. You should then be able to update normally from there
