As you can plainly see, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 60Da having a smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon Z6 will show more detail using its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older 60Da will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
