Usually, its difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes merely by viewing technical specs. The picture underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the R6 and S1R.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic S1R to provide you with extra detail having its extra 27 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more modern R6 should have an edge in sensor technology.
