IMHO, xxx2.83.6 would be more intuitive.

Also given this versioning scheme, upstreams next soversion will likely
be 2.84, making a Debian-local soversion change from 2.83 to 2.83.6
would be another option. That should also work without B+R.

I think B+R is sufficient and preferable over Conflicts.
