How master a given mix that is already -6lufs?

Title says everything. Seen a master request for a given mix that is already -6lufs. So can you master that or not? I am having a go at it and increasing the loudness, but will probably not submit it to them. Question is could/should I normalise -4db down to -10db then master? Yes the other way is to ask them to mix it lower in volume to -10. Not sure if they had any takers for the master yet. Over to the masters here ...... thoughts please 🤔
