(Beginner) I have a Radiolink Mini OSD with a not so clear schematic. How do i know if it can handle the input voltage needed to power my VTX?

My VTX and FPV camera can both handle my battery voltage (6V-36V input for the VTX and 4V-25V input for the camera). My mini OSD, unfortunately, only has an input voltage of 4v-6v and an operating voltage of 5V. I am in too remote of a place to replace the mini OSD or VTX, and was not sure if it would be able to handle the 6V input needed to power the VTX.

The schematic shows that the VTX port can only handle 5V input, but the pin on the PCB is marked as V instead of 5V. Similarly, the marking on the 5V pin that connects to the flight controller is correctly marked as 5V, both on the PCB and the schematic. To my understanding, V refers to the input voltage range. Does this mean I can input 6V?
