If you don't receive revenue sharing, then you just can't have consecutive top 6 picks.
Also, according to MLB.com teams that receive revenue-sharing payouts can't receive a lottery pick for more than two years in a row and those that don't can't get a top 6 choice in consecutive drafts.
A lottery pick is a top 6 pick. The Royals haven't received a lottery pick, because they have pick 8 this year, so they can still get a top 6 pick next year (2024) and the year after (2025). They were in the lottery, but every team that isn't in the playoffs is in the lottery. That doesn't mean they received a lottery pick.
