can we upgrade from RTC 5.0.2 to 6.0.2 directly
Accepted answer
Every Help version (you can get there using the documentation link on the top of this page) has an upgrade section. E.g.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_6.0.2/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/c_upgrade_overview.html
In the interactive upgrade Guide https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_6.0.2/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/roadmap_clm_upgrade.html
on that page on the top, you find notes about going from previous versions.

Farther down you have a check box for your specific 5.0.x version check that and if there are specific instructions follow them.
Usually there aren't and you should be able to go from any CLM 5.x to any CLM 6.x but it is necessary to run the interactive upgrade Guide anyway to be sure what the steps are.
