Yes, you could, but only on a block level. All servers would always need to be up-and-running simultaneously, otherwise LVM will not activate the volumegroup. Also, the contents of the disks would only make sense on the server running LVM: it would not be possible to access the data on one of the other 5 servers. So: although possible, probably not a good idea.
