I think the point is raise it to the minimum version which supports the codebase. If there was some feature in 2.10 that did not exist in 2.6 and that feature was required for proper execution, then 2.10 would be a better target. Otherwise it would just be forcing people to upgrade who would not otherwise need to.
There's nothing stopping anyone from upgrading to 2.10 if they desire, however, requiring a higher version than is really necessary limits potential users of the software to those who are able to install those versions in their setups. If a goal of OpenSimulator developers is wide adoption, then it makes sense to have it be usable on as many existing hardware/software configurations as possible.
