Max voltage received by the Alvik motors?

The Alvik uses motors with an operating voltage of 6V. However, on pg 10 of the Alvik datasheet (https://docs.arduino.cc/resources/datasheets/AKX00066-datasheet.pdf), it looks like the motors only receive a max 5V of power during operation. Am I reading this correctly? I'm trying to understand how much voltage these motors are receive as I am using them in a similar project.

"6v" DC motors are rated for a maximum of 6v, they'll probably run OK on as little as 3v

Indeed. To confirm, this does depict that 5V is going to these motors in the Alvik, yes?

the motor driver is getting 5v, from the boost converter,motor voltgae will be 5v or lower depending on that drivers spec
